Cíle předmětu
This course aims at familiarizing participants with the Canadian feature film production from the late Nineteen-Sixties to the present. Using a body of critically acclaimed films, the course is designed to enhance students’ interpretive skills and to provide them with relevant knowledge concerning the production, distribution, consumption and reception of Canadian feature films in Canada. The successful participants will become aware of the variety and quality of Canadian feature film production and gain relevant insights into the development of the Canadian film industry, criticism and film scholarship. In addition to studying representative works by major Canadian filmmakers, students will be invited to consider a variety of wider contextual issues. In other words the course provides not only opportunity for close textual analysis, but also for assessment of a variety of social, political, and cultural circumstances that the films result from and reflect.
