ENG 3745 - Green Screen: Environmental Film

Credits: 4
This course examines ecological themes through the medium of film. What ideas do films communicate about the natural world? What impact do they have on audiences? What can close, critical readings of these movies reveal? We will explore such questions through three main branches of cinema: narrative feature films, documentaries, and music videos. Films will include Blade Runner, The Emerald Forest, Jurassic Park, Earth Song, An Inconvenient Truth, Into the Wild, I Heart Huckabees, Avatar, Waste Land, and Wall-E.
Prerequisite(s): ENG 1050
