This seminar combines practice and theory-oriented approaches to film studies. In addition to exposing and immersing students into the film practice of various filmmakers and their approaches, including professor Wegenstein’s, this seminar pays close attention to feminist film theory, queer film theory, indigenous ethnographic film methods, and decolonial film strategies, analyzing their practical implementations in documentary, fiction films, and animation films. The seminar will also offer students the opportunity to sit in and learn the editing process, as Fall 2024 coincides with Bernadette Wegenstein’s latest documentary film post-production phase, The Archives. No prior practical experience in filmmaking needed to attend this class.
