300CY Cluster Course: Ancient World/Cinema (3)
this course will explore the tradition of depicting the ancient mediterranean
world film from the early silent era to the present. Topics to be covered
include the ways that filmmakers respond to literary and historical sources
from the ancient world, interact with the artistic tradition of films about the
ancient world, the relation of these films to other works by the same creative
personnel (directors, actors, writers, producers, etc.), and the political and
cultural contexts in which the films were released. This course is cross-listed
with HIST 400CY.
