This course will focus on the cinematic traditions of Central Europe. Through specific films, students will learn about the directors and cinematic trends of the Austrian, German, Czech, Hungarian, and Polish film. Students will learn about the technical, aesthetic, narrative, and commercial development of the cinematic art form in this geo-political area. Students will study the influences at work on Central European cinema over the course of the last 100+ years, as well as the specific distinctions between Central European film and other traditions, such as the Hollywood film.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class. The listed ECTS credits are a recommendation by the University of New Orleans Innsbruck Summer School, based on contact hours, anticipated out-of-classroom requirements such as field trips, and projected workload for readings, assignments, and exam preparation.
