- Make use of the typologies of documentary modes of representation as laid out in contemporary film theory, and apply the knowledge to films seen and to films made.
- Demonstrate and apply advanced knowledge of the production work-flow used in documentary film making from the perspective of a professional involved in a project.

The film historical arc of this course will be broad, starting literally with the ‘first films’, proceeding through the development of the term ‘documentary’ itself, and continuing through subsequent developments in the field up to more recent times. Moving through different modes to genres like the compilation and essay film, the course will focus more and more toward what Michael Renov discusses in his book, The Subject of Documentary, as ‘the turn to the subject,’ or works that take into account a ‘history of subjectivities’ that much of documentary film and video has been invested in for the last twenty years or so. This will bring us up to contemporary periods that take up identity politics, and other cultural studies and critical theory oriented areas of production as subjects of documentary exploration. In a second paper, advanced students will apply the historical-theoretical work focused on in the course, to their own film making project (See below).
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
