EN 3805 - Writing About Film


(3)
This course will expose students to the various typs of expository, experimental, and reflective writing that have evolved alongside the growth of cinema worldwide-types of writing that span from the quippy reviews of James Agee and sprawling essays of Pauline Kael to the genre-defying writing about film exemplified in works by James Baldwin, Nathalie Leger, and Manuel Puig. This exposure will help students develop as film writers themselves, as writers who reflect deeply on their experience with film and who place their reflections into vital conversations about film in the twenty-first century.

Prerequisite: EN 1110  and EN 1120  or EN 1140  or EN 1150 .
