Course Description

Is this cinema or television? While it may seem that this question has only recently been asked with the advent of streaming platforms like Netflix and the rise of “global television” (Lobato 2019) in this seminar we will learn that the close relationship between cinema and television is long-standing. The course will focus on the 1970s and 1980s, an exciting period of collaboration between European public television and independent filmmakers from all over the world. From a historical and theoretical perspective, we will examine key debates around media specificity and convergence, television as a “utopia,” and the challenges of co-production between the “North” and the “South,” among other issues. Focus is on a wide range of directors from the U.S., Europe, and the “Global South” who made films for European public television (e.g. Rossellini, Godard & Miéville, Jarmusch, Burnett, Ruiz, Black Audio Film Collective, Sarmiento, etc.).
