FILM3002: Cinema Spectatorship
2022 unit information
What is the nature of the cinematic experience? How do we think about some of those experiences that cinema provides that we value so much as spectators? In this unit we will closely view some of the key films central to debates on cinema spectatorship in Film Studies as well as examining more recent developments in the field.
