Course objectives
Both city and film represent experience, a process. Their relations have been reciprocal; they have been penetrating each other since film as a new experience of space entered the city, as well as the city entered the film. We will focus on the problem of relations between urban and film space, i.e. how the relations between these two types of space have been transformed through history.
