FLM 280-89 Special Topics in Film Directors

This course explores the theory that film directors, by virtue of the central role they play in guiding the collaborative project of filmmaking, can be considered the authors of films. It may be organized as a focused and in-depth examination of a single director who exhibits a distinctive style and coherent thematic vision in his or her films, or as a broad survey of a group of directors who share the same stylistic or thematic concerns and/or the same gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
