GH 327: Translating Global Cinema
Course Description
Travel the world through Cinema!
Translating Global Cinema introduces students to the international language of film. Skills of “visual thinking” and “visual reading” explore the power of films to build connections across cultures. Analysis of moving images and soundscapes and how they influence us inform and build upon basic media literacy. Key texts build analysis in communication-in-cultural context, introducing anthropological and ethnographic perspectives. By deeply inquiring into such questions, students will learn how to critically view, think about, and write about film.

"Prior to my current position, I studied and worked in Berlin, Germany. I worked for a charity art auction (PLACET) and made documentary films. I studied Visual and Media Anthropology (M.A.) at the Freie University in Berlin. I also have a background in film theory and film production and am an alum of Montana State University. In my free time I like to hike, backpack with my dog, and explore cities with friends."
