AS.010.356 (01)	Landscape in World Cinema	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Liu, Mia Yinxing	Gilman 119	Spring 2026	Description: Landscape in narrative cinema has silent enunciating power. The choice of location shots alone constitutes a set of complex considerations. We may wonder, why was Monument Valley featured in so many westerns? Is it only because of the site’s marvelous photogenicity, or its geographic location, or its social and historical significance? The formal and stylistic choices filmmakers made regarding how landscape is represented on screen, whether as a real or a fictional site, also reveal critical engagements with both social reality and the pictorial conventions of landscape art. Does it look barren or lush? sublime or banal? What is the concept of nature, what is a “view,” or picturesque, and how are these critical questions in representations of landscape framed and mediated in cinema? Does the representation of landscape work for or against the storyline unfolding on screen? What does it tell us about social reality, ecological concerns, and political commentary? This course examines landscape in narrative cinema not only as subject or part of the mise-en-scene but also as a way of seeing, a site of expression, and locus of social, historical, and political meaning. Each week we explore a film genre or a film movement, for example, Western, or Japanese New Wave, and study how landscape functions in that genre. Students are expected to watch films, read, and analyze both the readings and films carefully prior to coming to class. As a term project, each student selects a particular site (any site of their choice) for the focus of their study and research of cinematic landscape in the course. These sites can be a place personal to you, or a place you think is interesting or important in cinema. There will be workshops during the course of the semester to help complete the final project.

AS.061.205 (01)	Introduction to Screenwriting	T 11:00AM - 1:30PM	Rodgers, Adam F	The Centre 206	Spring 2026	Description: In this course we will explore the basic principles of visual storytelling in narrative film as they apply to the design, creation, and revision of the screenplay. Specifically, we will focus on learning the craft of screenwriting - strategies, processes, and philosophies that writers can develop, practice, and rely upon as they progress through a series of screenwriting exercises and write two short screenplays, which will be critiqued in-class during weekly table reads and with the Instructor (one-on-one) during office hours. Select professional screenplays will be read and analyzed — and clips from select films viewed — to further explore what works well on the page, and how it translates to working well onscreen. Final Draft screenwriting software is required; a FREE 18-week trial will be made available for all students who don’t already have Final Draft.

AS.061.220 (01)	Networked Art: Systems of Media Art Exchange and Distribution	MW 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Flyntz, Elizabeth	Bloomberg 178	Spring 2026	Description: The history of media art is in many ways a history of artists trying to find new modes of distribution and exchange for that art. From early video collectives mailing tapes to contemporary artists launching NFT collections, media artists have consistently challenged traditional gallery distribution models by creating alternative networks for circulation, funding, and audience engagement. This course examines how technological shifts and economic pressures have shaped strategies for media art distribution from the 1960s to the present. We will trace the evolution from mail art networks and public access television to social media platforms and blockchain marketplaces, analyzing how each era's dominant technologies enabled new forms of artistic exchange. Students will investigate case studies including Radical Software magazine's tape-sharing network, the rise of net.art communities, platform-based art practices, and contemporary cryptocurrency/NFT art markets. Throughout, we will consider how distribution methods influence artistic content, community formation, and definitions of artistic value. The course positions media art not just as aesthetic practice, but as a testing ground for alternative economic and social models. Students will analyze how artists have leveraged everything from postal systems to peer-to-peer networks to build sustainable creative practices outside conventional art market structures.

AS.061.260 (01)	What the World Is Made Of	T 3:00PM - 5:30PM	Bucknell, Lucy	Gilman 35	Spring 2026	Description: How do images and writing evoke sensory experience? How can storytelling explore culture, social codes, the inner lives of characters? Students in this course will consider a range of material including poetry, prose, and film. They'll respond with brief written analyses; creative writing, including brief dramatic scenes; and both still and moving smartphone images. Throughout they'll practice the close observation necessary to locate telling details in their own worlds, and create textured, immersive work. An introductory film studies or film production course is recommended, but not required. Non-majors welcome! Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 1/9 Tags: FILM-CRITST
AS.061.270 (01)	The Body and Cinema	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Stine, Kyle J.	Gilman 413	Spring 2026	Description: Before film even emerged as a popular entertainment form, motion pictures were used to study the human body for purposes of scientific inquiry and medical practice. The present-day crossovers between imaging science and cinema—the inclusion of medical imaging in movies and television shows, the deployment of informational videos and animations in telehealth, and the myriad ways that digital imaging itself is spurred on by the needs of scientific investigation and the demand for cultural works—suggest that what we know about the human body is caught up in a complex web of technical representations and cultural meanings. This course explores the construction of the human body within this array of cinematic practice. Our approach will be twofold: First, we will consider scientific and medical images not merely as powerful means of seeing what would otherwise be unseeable but also as technically enabled and culturally influenced ways of knowing, that is, images, as in cinema, that are historical and could be otherwise. Second, we will examine representations of the human body in the history of film, focusing on how bodies are represented, what bodies are privileged, and how bodies are figured using medical imaging.

AS.061.273 (01)	Animating Textiles	W 2:30PM - 5:00PM	Yasinsky, Karen	The Centre 216	Spring 2026	Description: This course is an exploration of the craft and history of textile-making in relation to animation. This will involve the translation of patterns into structures for the creation of animations. Color, texture, the source of materials and iconography of images used in the textiles will be considered, as well as the people who made them and why. The course will include visits to the Baltimore Museum of Art to study and research textiles. That study and research will be used in the creation of animations - hand-drawn and collage or photo-based works. Knowledge of use of DSLR cameras and video and sound editing required.

AS.061.304 (01)	Slow Cinema	W 2:00PM - 4:30PM	Stine, Kyle J.	Parkway Theater 2	Spring 2026	Description: Slow Cinema: The Ethics of Being-with in Time. Against the tendencies of a media environment that seems to prioritize faster content at shorter intervals in nearly all areas of cultural life, this course attends to the aesthetics, ethics, and attentional challenges of slow cinema. A global array of filmmaking practices traceable to the earliest years of film history, slow cinema cultivates what we will call long circuits of attention—extended modes of looking and listening that unfold across decelerated time. Although often associated with long takes, slow cinema cannot be reduced to shot duration; some films deploy extremely long takes while maintaining a rapid, volatile tempo, revealing that slowness is an experience rather than a technical property. Over the semester, we will consider how the formal strategies of slow cinema open up meditative and contemplative modes of spectatorship, inviting new forms of care toward dimensions of life that often go unnoticed: labor, landscape, environment, memory, and existence itself.

AS.061.333 (01)	All Talking! All Singing! All Dancing! A History of the Movie Musical	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	DeLibero, Linda Louise	The Centre 206	Spring 2026	Description: This course is an overview of the American movie musical, one of film’s most durable—and arguably most innovative—genres, from the advent of sound to the present. We’ll explore the evolution of the musical as it adapted to the unique properties of film, pioneered technological innovation, and daringly addressed social and cultural change beneath the guise of its purportedly conservative form. Mostly, we’ll closely examine a wide range of films and the essential elements of the genre: dance, music and lyrics, and the performers who bring them to life. We’ll study how and why the popularity of musicals has waxed and waned (and waxed) over time and speculate on what the future portends for the form. Students will discuss, present and write about particular musicals throughout the semester, and will work together as a group to produce a short musical as the final project. AS.061.140 or AS.061.141 are preferred but not required Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 1/16 Tags: FILM-CRITST
AS.061.356 (01)	Narrative Productions	F 10:00AM - 2:00PM	Bae, Wonjung; Rodgers, Adam F	The Centre 239	Spring 2026	Description: This course is designed to immerse students in the creative, technical, and logistical challenges of narrative film production. The journey will yield a greater understanding of the professional structure of a film crew, as well as the collaborative creativity and intentionality necessary to make a narrative short film. Students will be divided into teams, each of which will produce, shoot, and edit a short narrative film based upon a 5 to 10-page screenplay written by a fellow student (and completed by the time the course begins). Students will fill all principal crew roles—director, cinematographer, producer, editor, location sound mixer, etc. Instructors will serve a guiding role throughout all phases of student projects, sharing practical strategies and technical expertise relating to the creative, collaborative nature of the filmmaking process. Instructors will also expose students to several working film professionals in order to further illuminate the key creative roles and dynamics inherent to narrative filmmaking.

AS.061.391 (01)	Love and Film	T 2:30PM - 5:00PM	Ward, Meredith C	The Centre 206	Spring 2026	Description: In this course, we explore different understandings of "love" and the way that film has dealt with the concept as a medium. We explore a variety of approaches to the question of "love" - from the agapic to the familial to the romantic - through a series of interdisciplinary readings ranging from philosophy to anthropology. We will also equally explore the question of how film has engaged with the question of love as a concept, and what depictions of human affection - from the general to the personal - it has offered us. Screenings are required for this course. Lab fee: $50 Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 0/15 Tags: FILM-CRITST
AS.061.401 (01)	The Cannes Film Festival: Study and Experiential Learning Excursion	T 7:30PM - 10:00PM Screenings, W 2:30PM - 5:00PM	Mason, Laura	Gilman 10; Gilman 35	Spring 2026	Description: This course focuses on Cannes, one of the world’s oldest and most influential film festivals. We will explore the role of film festivals in fostering aesthetic communities and creating markets by reading about the culture, politics, and commerce of film festivals, Cannes in particular, and by watching films that permit us to compare Official Selections to less orthodox choices for parallel sections and concurrent festivals.

AS.061.130 (85)	Glimpsing the Present: Word and Image	MTW 5:30PM - 8:00PM	Bucknell, Lucy	Online	Summer 2026	Description: This course will encourage students to focus on the here and now. Through creative exercises in writing, and in both still and moving images, they’ll develop a practice of noticing, opening all five senses to the immediate world around them, experiencing it in all its detail. They'll analyze the work of poets, filmmakers, and photographers, and they’ll keep their own daily records, brief notes on people, places, the weather, snippets of passing music and conversation. They’ll look not at but through their phones to capture wherever they are in an ordinary day, from the street to the family kitchen. They’ll share their impressions and discoveries in group discussion, considering how to create immersive art that evokes rather than describes experience. Ultimately they’ll assemble and shape their glimpses of the evolving present into a portfolio that celebrates the artistry of paying attention, of being in the world as it is.

After a brief introduction each week, you will watch the assigned film and read some texts to deepen your sense of how to analyze it and think about broader matters the director has taken on. During in-class discussion, we will consider what makes a particular film noteworthy, what the director seems to think about his/her national context, and how local issues intersect with broader questions about the human condition. How does the past shape us? What is justice? What is political action? Who are we responsible to? We will also consider aesthetics. What is a good director? How do we know we are watching good acting (especially when reading subtitles?) What impact do cinematography and editing have on our perception of a film? How do film makers speak to and quote one another? Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 12/12 Tags: n/a

Select produced feature screenplays will be read and analyzed — and clips from select films viewed — to further explore what works well on the page, and how it translates to working well onscreen. (Scripts and clips often selected from American films from the '70s, '80s, and '90s.)

AS.061.373 (01)	Intermediate Screenwriting: Adaptation and I.P.	M 11:00AM - 2:00PM	Rodgers, Adam F	The Centre 206	Fall 2026	Description: Have you ever read a book or a news story, watched a play, or even heard a song, and thought to yourself, "This would make a GREAT movie!"? This course turns that impulse into action, revealing the strategy and process needed for developing a short screenplay from pre-existing "I.P." (intellectual property). By exploring several case studies — films and tv series and the source material that inspired them — students will identify the practical strategies employed by professional screenwriters with the goal of employing them with their own screenplay adaptations. The bulk of the class will focus on designing, writing, and rewriting a 20 to 30-page screenplay, and sharing multiple drafts with the class (and with the professor one-on-one) for critique over the course of the semester. Discussions from time to time will also touch on the business of screenwriting. Students are expected to have previously completed AS.061.205 or another lower-level screenwriting class, and to be using Final Draft software (free 18-week trial available, as well as a full license for $99).
