I am trying to map out possibilities for an undergraduate film course with the tentative title: "Global Vision: The World in the Cinema" which would explore a number of films that purport to somehow be 'about the world' in a synthesizing sort of way. To some extent, these are films that seek to cast a sort of omniscient eye upon global events, hereby producing generalizations or seeking commonalities between cultures in relation to modernization and (ultimately) globalization. My ambition would be to problematize this type of global vision and situate it in relationshp to discourses of ethnography, cosompolitanism, and globalization. A few examples would be Jim Jarmusch "Night on Earth," various films by Godfrey Reggio, Wim Wenders, "Until the End of the World," and Chris Marker's Sans Soleil. Through my departmental affiliation I am particularly tasked to give attention to European cinemas, especially German/French/Italian. Does anyone have suggestions for other films that would fall under this specialized category of Global Vision?? Thank you in advance for any random epiphanies!
