Course objectives
Both city and film represent experience, a process. Their relations have been reciprocal; they have been penetrating each other since film as a new experience of space entered the city, as well as the city entered the film. We will focus on the problem of relations between urban and film space, i.e. how the relations between these two types of space have been transformed through history. We will deal with the interactions of modernity, urban culture, and film (compression of time and space) and further on, with relations between film and an orientation in the postmodern hyper-space (transformations caused by technological and economic changes, by a process of fragmentation, segmentation, and control, by an increasing extent of consumption, polarization and by militarisation of urban society).
