Project Duration

Sep 2016 - May 2018

Project Description

This project aims to integrate concrete experience with the concepts and theories in film studies to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real practice in our society. This will be achieved through an independent filmmaking project embedded in a common core film studies course “HUMA 3000X: Independent Cinema in Contemporary China,” which will be offered in spring 2017. Through the filmmaking project students are expected to apply and creatively use the knowledge learned in class, such as film theories, filming techniques, and social issues.

Project Outcome

The project is still ongoing. Project outcomes will be updated upon project completion.
