Anotace
This is one of the courses of the UPCES programme (the Undergraduate Program in Central European Studies); the comprehensive information is available at https://bakalar.fhs.cuni.cz/SHV-211.html. This course covers a select band of Central European filmmakers (along with a special bonus, the Soviet bloc film-artist Andrei Tarkovksky) and their collective attempt to deal with and to follow their search for a medium to present and to formalize leading edge questions concerning the full complexity of individual and collective political life and historical experience.
This course adopts creative inter-disciplinary attention to its target films, including cultural-studies, literary-historical, philosophical, and psychoanalytic approaches to the cultural form.
