Course Description
This course examines the key works of the Taiwan New Cinema movement and its legacy beyond Taiwan and into the twenty-first century. It explores not just the work of a wide array of film directors, but also the texts and the condition of their production, distribution, exhibition and consumption within a transnational framework, all of which impinge on the question of national film historiography. The course explores the socio-political background of the emergence of the Taiwan New Cinema movement, its key directors and their works, the international context of their reception and the transnational nature of their production, and its legacy to date. It provides in-depth knowledge of the work of selected film authors and an awareness of the cinematic, cultural, and socio-political contexts in which they work, and enable students to analyze the work in relation to questions of transnationality and historiography.

Course Description
This course explores Japanese contemporary film in the context of socio-political change since the 1980s. Attention is paid to locating cinema within the debate on the many social issues that have emerged since the 1980s, including but not limited to: Japanese national identity, the family, economic restructuring, tradition and aesthetics, consumption and the virtual, history and memory, and depictions of disaster. Therefore, as well as developing a critical appreciation of contemporary Japanese cinema, the course acts as an approach to thinking about more general issues facing Japanese society. Students are expected to draw upon the wide literature in English on both Japanese cinema and contemporary Japanese society, and demonstrate this knowledge through discussion, debate presentations, and written work.
