In Italo Calvino’s book, Invisible Cities, Marco Polo depicts an eclectic array of imaginary, and fantastic, cities to Kublai Khan. Using this book as a guide, each student will create an imaginary city composed entirely from online archival footage. Following Calvino’s advice, these projects will “take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders but in the answer it gives to a question of yours”. Additional readings will include works by Louis Aragon, Walter Benjamin, Michel de Certeau, Rainer Maria Rilke, and W.G. Sebald. This course satisfies the Advanced Film Production requirement for FMS majors and minors.
