World Cinemas

World Cinemas investigates films and filmmakers from across the globe, exploring their movements and audiences, and the cultural, political, and technological forces that shape them. The subject highlights the shifting dynamics that continuously redefine cinema’s role and form in different parts of the world. It examines how films circulate through festivals, streaming platforms, and academic discourse, with particular attention to Latin American cinema and its cultural and historical contexts. Through close readings of selected screenings and manifestos, students will explore how cinema reflects and reimagines the worlds in which it is made and viewed.
