Food is a rich and generative signifier as it lends itself to some of our deepest existential questions and most fundamental needs.

In this course, students will consider how writing and reading can foster democratic practices. Broadly defined a democracy values human rights, human agency, discussion, disagreement, and deliberation.

Experiments-16 mm Film

(Offered as ARHA 335 and FAMS 335) This intermediate production course surveys the outer limits of cinematic expression and provides an overview of creative 16mm film production. We will begin by making cameraless projects through drawing, painting and scratching directly onto the film strip before further exploring the fundamentals of 16mm technology, including cameras, editing and hand-processing. While remaining aware of our creative choices, we will invite chance into our process and risk failure, as every experiment inevitably must.
