Course Objectives: This course aims to evaluate the new wave cinemas that have developed after the 1950s with an intertextual perspective.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
i. gain knowledge about new wave cinemas in the world
ii. are able to make connections between the new waves in different countries and the historical, political and cultural context of the time
iii. are able to make creative discussions not just on cinema but alongside cinema
iv. learn to read films from different theoretical perspectives
