Writing About Home Movies
Course Description
This course considers the shifting dimensions of domestic space by watching and writing about different kinds of "home movies": amateur movies, documentaries, and fiction films that envision home in striking ways. Exploring these genres will give us occasion to write about the values of documenting family and everyday life; the pleasures and constraints of home-viewing practices; and film's power to (re-)shape social structures and practices.
