In this course, we will explore the important technological and cinematic innovations of non-fiction films within their cultural contexts, and examine theoretical issues such as objectivity and the blurred line between fact and fiction. This course stresses the skills necessary for the critical evaluation and interpretation of documentary films. Please note that students in this course will be required to view one film, on their own time and at their own expense, at the IMAX theater at Seattle Center <http://www.pacsci.org/sm_default.html>.
Some documentary films deal with mature subject matter that might make some students uncomfortable. Students who are not easily offended or who feel able to deal with emotional discomfort for the purpose of learning are encouraged to enroll in this course.
