Course description

NOT 2012 This course explores political and aesthetic trends in European film since the 1992 GATT treaty & the subsequent acknowledgement of the so-called "cultural exception" for international trade, that made it possible for European governments to keep subsidising their national audiovisual - including cinema - production as a protectionist measure against the indiscriminate import of Hollywood products. On the political side, the course studies the impact of EU policies in national industries, the boost of European co-productions fostered by the MEDIA & EURIMAGES funds, & institutional attempts to encourage the formation of a European cinema. On the aesthetic side, the course addresses two sets of issues: the profound renovation that some national cinemas have undergone in the 90s, especially in relation to the canonical post-war 'high' movements (gender, race, class); & the gradual creation of a recognisable 'European way' at several levels (genres, authorship, nationhood). This course may be cancelled if there are fewer than 20 enrolments.
