CIN378Y0 - Aspects of a National Cinema: Black Britain

This course is offered through the Summer Abroad program. Please refer to their website for details. 

This course explores Black British cinemas while examining categories of race and nation specific to post-Imperial Britain and its Black diasporic subjects’ world-making. Institutional practices and networks that have shaped the development and aesthetics of Black British film culture from the 1960s to the present, will be highlighted, when, in the words of Stuart Hall, filmmakers sought to “find a new language” to challenge post-war norms and culture that led to seismic shifts towards imagining postcolonial Britain. Studying Black British media on UK soil offers the opportunity to be immersed in the cultural ethos of Black Britain. We will experience locales and re-visit histories that, in part, inform deeper understanding of the unique film and moving-image practices under study. Topics will include London as a postimperial migrant city, “political Blackness,” Black Power and black music’s transnational remit, Black film collectives, among other topics. Media objects will range from documentary, Art cinema, television, to moving image installations.
