FAMS 351 Minor Film and Media -- Amateurs, Orphans, and Queers
Taking Gilles Deleuze's concept of "minoration" as a starting point, this advanced seminar explores the minor/minority across a wide range of visual forms, formats, and exhibition practices, including amateur films, home movies, and orphan cinema as well as works from "minority" media communities (third cinema, indigenous, exilic, independent, experimental, etc.). Students will also experiment with a range of minor techniques, including 8mm and 16mm filmmaking, found footage filmmaking, and digital remixing. [V]
