You will compare two films and produce a 10-minute multimedia comparison of them.

​

The first film you chose needs to be from a context unfamiliar to you. (Basically, avoid contemporary American mainstream film.) The second film should then be from another context again. You might start with a focus like this:

​

• Film movements (such as French New Wave, German expressionism, Third Cinema, and so on)

• Film genre and film style (such as film noir, romantic comedy, science fiction, Western, and so on)

• Film theory (such as auteur theory, feminism, Marxist film theory, and so on)

​

When you are thinking of contexts, consider these:

​

• Economic

• Geographical

• Historical

• Institutional

• Political

• Social

• Technological
