Description
Spanish cinema provides an excellent route for learning about contemporary Spanish history and understanding its social and political changes. This course visually documents the changing periods of Spanish cinema thanks to a selection of carefully chosen movies. Movies from the dictatorship period provide students with an insight into Spain during the Fifties, Sixties and early Seventies and allow us to understand the recent Spanish historical past. Directors such as Buñuel, Berlanga and Bardem will be closely scrutinized. The "turbulent" Eighties will be clearly represented by Pedro Almodovar's first works. A selection of recent Spanish films by relevant directors will be present and analyzed in class and will guide students through the country's present day social reality. Students will also gain some knowledge of the technical vocabulary required to introduce the necessary filmmaking theory and will analyze, in highly practical fashion, the different creative styles that have marked the cinematography of Spain.
