Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Ireland, and Irish people, have had a presence in cinema since its earliest years at the turn of the twentieth century that far outweighs the country's size or population. An indigenous Irish cinema, however, with a few notable exceptions, only began to emerge in the mid 1970s and since then has made an increasingly important contribution to representations of Ireland. This course provides students with a historical survey of representations of Ireland in cinema. It examines the major themes apparent in these representations and considers the challenges Irish filmmakers face in attempting to articulate a distinctive indigenous cinema.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written final test.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

It is the aim of this lecture course to provide an introduction to key issues concerning national cinema, particularly as it pertains to Ireland. Students will examine indigenous and international representations of Ireland and evaluate the challenges facing contemporary Irish cinema.

Examination topics

Lecture course; classroom discourse will be supplemented by visual aids (ppt, excerpts from documentary and feature films).
