This subject asks students to view and reflect on particular national or regional areas, or moments of emergence, in recent film-making. Subject content may range over particular national cinemas which have become the object of new or renewed critical attention within an international context (e.g. Chinese and Hong Kong cinema, Iranian, Japanese, Italian, French and Australian cinema and so on). A particular focus of the subject is to locate and analyse culturally significant and innovative practices in film-making in film cultures around the world. Students are asked to view a range of recent films and reflect critically on their relation to national character and transnational cultural formations.
