L.HIS 392 - History as Film

Credits: 3

This course examines the uses of film as sources of historical knowledge, principally through documentaries but also through semi-documentaries and fictional films. Nontraditional materials of historians (motion-picture films) as well as traditional materials (written sources) will enhance significantly the student’s interest in and understanding of modern history. Topics vary and will be determined by the availability of films and students’ interest.
