This course examines the complex, often subversive world of Eastern European and Russian cinema, where filmmakers navigated censorship to tell stories of war, love, and political upheaval. We’ll explore how directors used style and narrative to reflect and challenge their societies. Classes include weekly screenings (with English subtitles), discussions, and opportunities for creative projects, offering students a deeper understanding of the region’s cinematic and cultural legacy. Ideal for those interested in film, history, and critical analysis.
