Expanded Course Description
Are you curious how distinct and different Southeast Asian horror, martial arts, comedy and art house films are from their Western counterparts? Take a survey of the cinematic arts from film-producing countries in Southeast Asia! CINE 440: Southeast Asian Cinema introduces the themes, narratives, styles, and popular genres explored by filmmakers in Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. This course introduces you to the exciting, innovative, and unique cinematic arts from film-producing countries in Southeast Asia. You will be introduced to the themes, narratives, styles, and popular genres explored by filmmakers in Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The course will do so in three ways: Firstly, by showing you a selection of films made within a spectrum of production and distribution contexts—from the big-budget studio genre movies (horror, martial arts, and comedy) to independently produced arthouse films; secondly, by showcasing the works of women and LGBTQ filmmakers; thirdly, by making you engaged with the scholarly literature produced in the field of Southeast Asian cinema studies. While the course title includes the label "Southeast Asia," we will examine the concept of regional cinema through our discussion of the films and readings with the goal for us to be able to answer the question: Is there such a thing as Southeast Asian cinema? All films will have English subtitles. No specific prior knowledge of cultures, languages, and countries in Southeast Asia or prerequisite is required.
