The module offers a detailed study of selected films taken from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and its successor states, and their interaction with historical, social and political contexts. The selected films allow students to explore a variety of different themes in Yugoslav history and culture, including representations of President Tito and the formation of memory cults, representing socialist inequality and gender, and childhood and youth on film, amongst others. We will also explore key theoretical frameworks, such as nationalism and Orientalism, as well as becoming acquainted with the major theories in film studies. Students are not required to know Serbian/Croatian language or the History of Yugoslavia. Students taking Serbian/Croatian 3 will be expected to watch films in the original, other students will watch films with sub-titles
