THA 386B A - Tpcs Film: Evolution of Sci-Fi Film

3 Credit(s)

This course offers an examination of society (mostly American, but including Eastern and European) and its culture through the reflection of films in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. These films will be studied through the idea that “film, as in all art, is a reflection of and an influence on the society of its time.” Though we will explore the origins and history of science fiction film, this course will not be a purely chronological account of the major themes of the genre. We will be exploring and reflecting on the relationship between real science and science fiction.
