FILM 4320 - Film, Dream and Memory

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Film and Media Arts

Description:

The birth of the cinema and of Freud's theory of dreams took place within a few years of each other, a century ago. The magical, dream-like potential of the cinema was recognized early, and films have long been concerned with the presentation of the unreal or subconscious. In addition, the recording of remembered events has become the standard way of giving characters a past and their lives the kind of realist coherence we have come to expect in narrative film. This course explores the depiction of these phenomena in various guises at specific moments in the history of the cinema, and examines how film reflect or reinterprets hypotheses about human dreams and memories.
