I am in the process of persuading my college to allow me to pilot a short course in Film Theory. my own interests are very firmly in the areas of silent, early sound and musical films, and i would therefore welcome any suggestions on material that might work well for groups of students from other disciplines, who might have a limited background knowledge of this area. I think I may push for six or (if I am feeling brave) twelve sessions for this course, and would like to be as catholic and comprehensive as I can, engaging interest that might then be developed in further optional study, rather than swamping the students with too much in-depth material. This should be a beginers course. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
