This course explores the use of gender in historical and contemporary fascist movements, examining the ways in which fascist movements construct images of "masculine" and "feminine" to shape ideology. We will look at the rhetoric of gender equity to enforce regression and oppression systems, and how these rhetorics are used as tools to enforce xenophobic and racist narratives against immigrants to the US and Europe.

This production course grounds practice in theory and history. It will introduce students to canonical and contemporary works from avant-garde cinema while engaging them in experimental filmmaking concepts, aesthetics, and practices. Through lectures and screenings, students will be exposed to groundbreaking filmmakers and analyze their works. These will serve to inform and inspire students' own film projects which will cover a range of experimental film approaches including archival and found footage, structural, surrealist, and poetic.
