| Course description |
Teaching and reading will be organised around the themes of travel and transmission, with a central concern with questions of circulation and communication. Contemporary shifts in the circulation of film will be traced through the examination of the role of fans, of archives, of broadcasting, and of print and online publishing.
The course will be delivered through weekly two hour seminars. Core teaching will be delivered by the programme co-ordinators, but it is anticipated that this will be enhanced by additional presentations and/ or workshops from a range of invited speakers with professional expertise in exhibition, archiving and production.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| This course will provide students with a varied and nuanced understanding of the ways film travels across national, generic and historical spaces. Students will be introduced to a range of means through which filmic ideas are communicated to audiences and will gain a knowledge of the institutional and industrial contexts within which film is circulated. Students will be enabled to develop a critical understanding of these frameworks, and to connect and apply this understanding through written work in Film in the Public Space 2, and through the project-based activities undertaken within Research and Project Planning and the Final Project. |
Assessment Information
| Students will produce a 4,000 word essay on a theme drawn from the course. |
