choose one of topics, write a 1000-word essay, using two films and TWO articles from our Blackboard ‘documents’ archive. Avoid any form of stream of consciousness, copying your own response papers, and summarizing the films you choose. Instead, try analyzing them by forgetting the plot for a while. Avoid quoting more than two sentences from the article. In short, again: write your best essay for this class!
Use two films I list below and two articles that I upload to write an essay. Topics depend on which one is easier to write.
1. Is it possible for a non-Western filmmaker to film an unblemished reality today?
2. Do film archives enrich or distort the fictional depiction of reality in cinema?
3. How do non-Western filmmakers use ideology in depicting their reality?
use film : Gillo Pontecorvo: The Battle of Algiers
Vittorio de Sica: The Bicycle Thieves
