ASSIGNMENT

In this week’s lecture, we have introduced a handful of filmmaking in the post-colonial spheres since 1970s.

• Analyze one film and/or a filmmaker that was introduced in the lecture in regard to the following common themes:
  • Corruption following liberation
  • Ethnic conflict
  • Exploring the role of women in culture
• Does this film (of your pick) pay homage to a certain aesthetic that was introduced in our earlier lectures? In what ways, what cinematic techniques are deployed? (e.g., camera movement, shot size, sound design, score, color, lighting…etc.)

For your second post this week,

• Introduce a film made in the post-colonial sphere (since 1970s) which was not included in the lecture. Brief the filmmaker(s) of your pick, then close analyze a specific scene. What cinematic techniques are at play here? Please include a video clip.
