EA 152 PZ -Nature through Film

Institution: Pitzer

Description: We examine how ideas about nature and the environment and the human-nature relationship have been explored in film. From wildlife documentaries, to popular dramas of environmental struggles, to cult classics and Disney’s animated visions of nature, the human-nature relationship has been depicted through film to transmit particular views of the world, especially certain constructs concerning gender, race and ethnicity. We view and study films, read relevant theory, and actively critique ways in which our worldview has been shaped and impacted by cinema. Students write 8 five-page papers during the semester.
