COMM 2350 Film As Cross-Culture Communication

Film As Cross-cultural Communication examines how cultures are represented through the art and language of film. Movies have tremendous potential to provide exposure to other cultures and encourage greater understanding of obstacles that often prevent deep and lasting cross-cultural communication. By watching and analyzing films, this course attempts to open a window through which we might see our own cultural conditioning with greater insight and view those outside it with greater empathy. The course will focus on both cultural values and aesthetic aspects of the films. This course fulfills UCC-Area 6.
