Students will compile a collection of at least five narrated production stills (500 words each) that follow the spirit and tradition of the Third Cinema genre. Third Cinema directors operated in real life settings with real life people. Rather than use photography or videography, students will observe local, real life scenarios of everyday life that might be fitting for a film of the Third Cinema genre. They will describe the scene, then analyze its relevance to course concepts. Through this exercise, students will practice description and analysis.
Third Cinema is a Latin American film movement during the Cold War that decries neocolonialism and the capitalist system. It is meant to challenge the colonial hegemony of dominant Hollywood by serving the needs of colonized people in the Third World. It is a form of decolonizing through cinematography.
