Come talk about how film can work as a kind of religion all by itself, and also how visual techniques can communicate religious meaning. Come talk about how film can work as a kind of religion all by itself, and also how visual techniques can communicate religious meaning.
This course has lots of room left because it's an upper level course in a program that only has a minor! Take advantage and join us as we learn about the relationship between religion and film! No religious perspective is privileged, and we will touch on a variety of world religions (no previous experience needed).
Film offers compelling modes of world-building and meaning-making for people. Films with religious meaning embedded in them also use a specific set of visual and camera techniques to make their points. Learn how to read them.
This is a 300 level course, but *anyone* with at least two humanities courses and/or media-related courses can join with a registration override. If that's not you, ask anyway! Anyone with a keen eye and an interest in film would enjoy this class. The professor is a national expert in the field.
