Title: Brazilian Cinema in a Global Context
Description: Brazilian cinema has experienced a major resurgence since the late 1990s, exhibiting a wide array of thematic concerns and formal approaches: from critically acclaimed documentaries to the commercial success of "City of God." After an introduction to the Cinema Novo of the 1960s in the context of other contemporary movements, this course will focus on how more recent filmmakers have engaged questions of Brazilian cinema's relationship to the state, to social conditions, and to the international marketplace. Recurrent and emerging trends will also be discussed (e.g. a preoccupation with the Amazon, urban violence, literature, and music).
