| Description: | The extraordinary history of the city of Rome has always been enmeshed with tragedy, drama and legend. In this course students analyze major events and developments in Roman history as depicted in famous movies, with a particular focus on the history of Rome from the 1920s to the 1970s. The films will also be explored in order to provide students with an insight into techniques for writing a short but vivid cinematographic script. In the second part of the course, students will additionally have the opportunity to create their own Roman movie script using not only the information and professional tools studied in class but also their personal experiences made during their day by day life in Rome. |
