New Waves and Contemporary Cinemas of the Global South.

It allows lifelong learners to increase their knowledge of less familiar cultural, social and aesthetic practices and models of economic organisation.

We will discuss, contextualise and analyse the films of Mizoguchi, Ozu, Oshima, Imamura, Koreeda, Hamaguchi (Japan); Ghatak, Ray, Sen (India); Diop Mambéty, Sembene, Diop (Senegal); Hou, Yang, Tsai (Taiwan); Brocka, Diaz (Philippines); Favio, Solanas, Martel (Argentina); Guerra, Dos Santos, Rocha, Babenco (Brazil)
