Course description

This course examines a range of theoretical approaches to the issues of realism, fiction, and factuality across various kinds of film, TV, and screen media. In an era of increasing anxiety about fakery, the blurring lines between fact and fiction, and the nature of viewer belief, this course will give students a deeper understanding of past and current ways of thinking about the screen's relationship to realities.
