CAS 336 - Cult Cinema

3 Credit Hours
In this class, students will view and analyze several b-movies and cult films produced in various national cinemas and different historical periods to uncover what they reveal about prevailing sociocultural conditions and attitudes. B-movies and cult films tend to exist on the fringes of mainstream cinema, and therefore they often have more leeway to explore and critique controversial issues that are frequently ignored by major studio releases. This course uses films to explore issues surrounding feminism, authoritarianism, interracial relations, and queer identities. This course utilizes online discussions and critique papers to interrogate these issues and many others.

This course will satisfy the core area requirement in fine arts.
