ASSIGNMENT
In this week’s lecture, we have introduced a handful of filmmaking in the post-colonial spheres since 1970s.
Analyze one film and/or a filmmaker that was introduced in the lecture in regard to the following common themes:
Corruption following liberation
Ethnic conflict
Exploring the role of women in culture
Does this film (of your pick) pay homage to a certain aesthetic that was introduced in our earlier lectures? In what ways, what cinematic techniques are deployed? (e.g., camera movement, shot size, sound design, score, color, lighting…etc.)
For your second post this week,
