Cíle předmětu
This course focuses on selected feature films made by notable American filmmakers during the second half of the 20th century. Students taking the course will get acquainted with thirteen key films that represented in their day notable artistic achievements and have remained an integral part of the canon of American cinema ever since. Cutting across a variety of genres, the features offer important insights into the development of the American film industry and at the same time invite thinking about a variety of wider contextual aspects. In other words we will not only concentrate on the films as such, but also consider a variety of social, political and historical issues that the films reflect and at the same time result from. A no less important aim of the course is to provide students with a theoretical framework for a better understanding and appreciation of the film medium.

Výukové metody
The course is based on watching films, reading, individual preparation, as well as class discussions. All students wishing to successfully complete the course are expected to view all the main items on the viewing list, read all the assigned reading, prepare a film presentation, and actively participate in the discussions in class. There will be a separate viewing session, which is also compulsory! Your grade will be based on your performance in class (in-class quizzes, presentation, and involvement in discussions - 50%) and a written exam (50%). The duty to present a film in class also includes the duty to provide a one-page written synopsis (either in word or ppt) that should be uploaded into elf two days prior to the seminar when your presentation is due. Students who miss more than two classes (and/or viewing sessions) automatically fail the class. Please note that this schedule is subject to change dependent on the specific needs of the group.
