Overview

This course proposes the aesthetic analysis of expressive methods of film and T.V.
through the study and debate of film theories and the definition of the particular and
differentiating features of cinematographic language as a particular expressive
resource. Students will deal with the relations within the aesthetic theories of T.V.
(representative authors of different eras and tendencies) and their socio-historic and
ideological conditioning.
