Course objectives
The course will focus on slow cinema, one of the most important tendencies of contemporary art cinema. Although the academic discourse started to recognise slow cinema only a decade ago, this trend has its roots in films of some of the modernistic auteurs or avantgarde artist. With regards to a wide variety of slow cinema directors (artists from Thailand, South America or Europe), the questions of continuity, similarity and difference in today's global art cinema come forward. Institutional background of slow cinema will be reflected, as well as the dominant theoretical approaches, like theories of Jacques Ranciere, Gilles Deleuze or neoformalism.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to thoroughly understand one of the dominant trends of contemporary art cinema. They will be able to think about it in historical terms and they will be able to use some of the basic theoretical approaches to these films.
