An introduction to the literary art of American film based on classics set in Austria. Students will apply their "reading" skills to iconic films set in in Austria, such as The Sound of Music (1965), Amadeus (1984) and Before Sunrise (1995), thinking through how--in addition to representing movements within American cinema (i.e., the musical, film noir, realism)--the setting informs the work and vice versa

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.
