Docufictions: Cinema, Authenticity, and Theory

This seminar will investigate how filmmakers and theorists have related the categories of fact and fiction to the production of films in Russian and (post-) Yugoslav cinemas. At the center of our inquiry will be the history and theory of cinematic authenticity, historical referentiality, and reality effects. Course work includes film viewings outside of class meeting times. Jointly offered with a graduate level course.
