Women in American Science Fiction Cinema
Science fiction films create imaginative worlds that reflect real fears, anxieties, and desires. This course explores the evolving role of women in sci-fi cinema over the past seventy years, both on screen and behind the camera. Students will examine diverse female characters — from nurturing mothers to fierce heroines and brilliant scientists — and the cultural concerns they represent, including foreign threats, technological uncertainty, and existential questions. Special attention will be given to films directed, produced, or written by women in the last twenty years, exploring how authorship influences narratives and representation in the genre.
Hollywood Dreams and Nightmares: The 1960s and 1970s
For decades, Hollywood has been a “dream factory,” and the films of the 1960s and 1970s show how those dreams reflected a nation in transformation. This course explores how American cinema captured both hope and change, from the fading traditions of Old Hollywood to the bold experimentation of New Hollywood. Through lively discussion and close viewing, students will discover how these films celebrated creativity, reimagined myths, and offered fresh perspectives on gender, family, diversity, and the American experience, showing how cinema can inspire, challenge, and illuminate a society in motion.
