CINE319U

Special Topics in Documentary, Animation, Experimental Cinema, and Other Visual Media; How Cinema Judges Us

Examining film and law/justice as a compelling twist. Responding to the crisis of living in a post-truth world but if truth is indeed dead, who or what killed it? And how does it meet its end or resurrection through the intersections between cinema and trials? Exploring the trial not solely as a mechanical site of legal battles, but as a media form, a rich visual and spatial metaphor, and an aesthetic mediating system weaving its way through global cinema, documentaries, animation, experimental moving images, amateur video, and activist media.
