Given that thinking is an act of inquiry and that film is both a subject and object of such reflection, this course focuses on both how one does the fundamental work of Cinema Studies as a discipline, but also engages in the broader questions that films at their most capacious pose for us: questions of listening, seeing, responding to, thinking with, and being shaped by cinema as an audiovisual medium.
