Film and Moving Image Culture in Japan

This course explores films and moving image works in Japan from the earliest period to the present. It also provides tools as well as concepts for examining how cinematic and other visual media work and communicate with their audiences, while enhancing students’ analytic, interpretative, and argumentative skills. (Students will receive credit for only one of the following courses: AAS 4907; CMP 4907; FLM 4907; or JPS 4907. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-replacement policy). The course may be used as an elective within the Film Studies minor, not as the capstone course.
