SYLLABUS/CONTENT The course is structured through lectures that will also make use of film screenings, or film excerpts, that will be analysed and discussed. The history of cinema will be examined from the pioneering era, to the formation and consolidation of the cinematographic language, to the establishment of a ‘koinè’ of Hollywood matrix, the so-called ‘classic cinema’, able to impose itself on the different national cinematographies. The cinema of the historical avant-gardes and that of the neo-avant-gardes of ‘modern cinema’ will then be considered, which will be the subject of an in-depth theoretical study from the perspective of depth psychology. Finally, we will come to the innovations and problems posed by the digital revolution. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY - A.
