FITV12-211: Sex, Love and the Movies

In this subject, students explore various issues relating to sexuality and love as depicted in screen media. Students will engage with contemporary and historical films, canonical and emerging theory to consider matters such as gender representation and censorship, and the industrial and aesthetic concerns that influence what we see, and how we see it. Through critical reflection and analysis, students gain an in-depth understanding of how ever-shifting societal values concerning sex and love shape, and are, in turn, shaped by the screen.
