FILM 2003 - Europe on Screen: Nation, History and Ideology

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

This course will introduce you to a range of films produced in Europe over the course of the twentieth century and to the approaches we can use to analyse them. You will explore the major film movements that developed during this period, including from Soviet Montage to German Expressionism, and from Italian Neo-Realism to the British New Wave. All films shall be studied through the prism of National Cinema. You will explore how language, geographical barriers and historical/political contexts influence national film production in Europe and discover the ongoing vitality of 'popular' European cinema. In all cases, you will look closely at some of the genres and stars that have emerged in specific national contexts and examine the formal characteristics of a range of films from across the continent.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
