Program Overview


Our Theorising Japanese Cinema short course provides a historical overview of cinema in Japan from the silent film era to the present day, looking at:

  • styles and subject matter
  • film genres and movements
  • studios and directors
  • cultural, social, political, technological and industrial contexts.
  • The course will also introduce you to some key theoretical frameworks, such as national and transnational cinema, postcolonial thought, gender and spectatorship, and concepts such as genre, new wave, avant-garde and alterity/otherness, in order to deepen your understanding of different critical approaches to Japanese film.

    Films selected for this course are subtitled in English. There is no Japanese language requirement for the course.

    Assessment is via a 1500-word essay (30%), 2500-word essay (50%) and weekly in-class exercises (20%).

    30 credits at level 5
