This course offers an exploration of the development of film from its inception to the early postwar world of the 1950s. We will take a brief look at the technological, artistic and cultural evolution of cinema, its impact on society, and role as a powerful medium of expression. The topic will be illustrated by reviewing film clips from each decade, with an enjoyable class discussion encouraged. Part II of the course will be held during a later class Session.
