HIST243: History on Film
Many people gain much of their knowledge of history through film and television. In this course, students will be invited to think about the promise and problems of history on film. Through lectures, film screenings and discussions, students will explore how images are selected and arranged, whether it is possible for the filmmaker to tell an interesting and plausible historical story and show that historical ideas are open to debate, and consider the advantages and disadvantages of film as a medium for history. This unit will be of interest to students from all parts of the University.
