While broad histories of film cover global cinema from its beginnings to the present, this iteration of Film History appreciates the uniqueness of its location in Metz, France. Focusing on films within the French and surrounding European region, this course—organized by chronology and national cinema— introduces students to the ways that a history of film also becomes a history of place, people, and travel. Students will have the opportunity to integrate local film experience into the history of their own filmgoing and discovery. Built uniquely for Georgia Tech-Europe students, this course aspires to pique curiosity about not only film history but also its depiction of regional landscapes and culture. Assignments will encourage students to connect—whether through embodied travel or virtual research—cinematic places with geographic locale.
