This course introduces and treats the most important trends and movements within the history of Czech cinematography while placing films in their historical, cultural, and political contexts. Not only will you learn to talk and write about film, you will also be introduced to the region of the Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia and Central Europe, its history, geography, ethnography, and languages.
