This course will trace the history of film and its role in national identity in Mexico during more than eight decades. We will watch films from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema (1930s-1950s) by key directors, such as Fernando de Fuentes; films from the documentary genre, and films by many other important contributors to this large body of cinema. The course is organized by the following themes/topics designed to reflect the rich variety of Mexico’s cinematographic production: the Mexican Revolution, gender and identity, genre cinema, LGBTQI films, indigenous identity and language, and recent box office successes. Through viewing this wide range of films, students will gain a greater understanding of Mexican film production in its historic, cultural and aesthetic dimensions. Prerequisites: successful completion of SPAN 300, 301, and 305 with a grade of C- or better in each. This course is a Writing-to-Learn course.
