Double Take: Genre in the 21st Century

Duration: 10 weeks
Time: Tuesday, 6.30–8.30 pm (commencing Tues 4 October)
Fee: €120 – UCC & unwaged: €110
Deadline for applications: Tuesday 27 September

Film genres are today in constant evolution, often as a result of multiple processes of cross-fertilization—between genres and narrative conventions, between various Hollywood and world cinema practices, between cinema and other art forms. How are the classical genres changing? What emerging trends can be identified in the 21st century? How do contemporary cinema’s auteurs approach genre filmmaking?

This course asks what is happening today in science fiction, the psychological thriller, the documentary, the documusical and the western, through an analysis of key films such as Children of Men (Cuarón 2006), Hidden (Haneke 2006), Exit Through the Gift Shop (Banksy 2010), The Orchestra of Piazza Vittorio (Ferrente 2006) and A History of Violence (Cronenberg 2005).

The course, which will be taught by experienced post-doctoral researchers and PhD candidates in Film Studies, is open to all: no previous practical or theoretical knowledge required.
