ML-102 Reel Lives: Framing the Human Condition in European Film

Since its earliest days, cinema has had the power to illuminate the complexities of the human experience. Building on this foundation, you will examine how European filmmakers portray the struggles, triumphs, and defining moments of their films¿ characters, as well as the influence those films exert on you, the audience, within a wider cultural, social and political context. Through a selection of visually striking and emotionally resonant films, you will explore the cinematic techniques that bring these stories to life, offering insight into the human condition and contemporary debate about what it means to be European in the 21st Century. In so doing, this module asks you to reflect on that most fundamental question: what does it mean to be human?
ML-206 Cinema in a World Context

With Hollywood continuing to dominate global cinematic production and consumption, this module will introduce you to a selection of films which are generally categorised as "World Cinema". Lectures will explore both the thematic and technical elements of a selection of various films, situating each one in its political, historical and global context. As such, the module offers you an insight into key cinematic forms, movements and moments via which you will gain not only an understanding of the specifics of each individual film studied, but also a heightened understanding of the impact of World Cinema on western cinematic production.
