RUSS6675A-L09

History of Russian Cinema

This course is devoted to the history of Russian and Soviet cinema from the earliest silent films to films released in 2009. Students will study the work of such great filmmakers as Eisenstein, Kuleshov, and Pudovkin to Tarkovsky and Paradzhanov; we will watch and analyze films important to an understanding of the development of Russian and world cinematic art. Since cinema is a source for both the literary and living Russian language, an additional goal of the course will be to broaden students’ vocabulary. The course includes two film viewings per week outside of class, five essays, and a final exam.
