FRE 366 - Francophone Cinema

Beschea-Fache

This course is designed to foster cultural awareness and literacy about post-colonial French-speaking Africa while providing continuous training in the French language as the class discussions and most assignments will be conducted in French. The course will explore sub-Saharan French-speaking cinema, which, since its advent after the independence of the colonies from France in the early 1960s, has been extremely dynamic and daring and yet remains unknown to most Westerners. All films are subtitled in English.
