Course Overview

The Apocalypse in Cinema is: The course will examine why the apocalypse has found such a comfortable home in film, and in conjunction with this ask, “how has cinema rendered the apocalypse, and how is the cinematic apocalypse unique from other art forms that imagine the apocalypse?”  We will also work on coming up with a tentative definition of apocalyptic cinema.
