FILM 44.07 Docu-Fantasy and the Speculative Narrative in Multi-Ethnic Cinema

This course traces the evolution of the speculative narrative in non-fiction film in multi-ethnic and marginal filmmakers. We look at the work of Vietnamese, African-American, and German filmmakers in order to analyze how their works were part of a movement that affirm the validity of dreams, and function to expand the filmic imagination past traditional conceits of reality and realism. Final projects may be in any chosen genre, including, but not limited to, abstract imagery, documentary films, installations or experimental formats that invoke the theme “docu-fantasy”.
