ENGRE101

Level 1 Voices on Reel

Course Description

In this course we will explore how storytelling can instill hope, evoke empathy and motivate change.  Storytelling has been used throughout history to inspire people.  We will explore texts that identify universal themes but also teach us about ourselves.

This course is an exploration of film focusing on the diverse voices and narratives portrayed.  Cinema offers a platform for unique stories and perspectives. This course aims to delve into the historical, cultural, and social contexts that have shaped filmmaking while analysing the voices represented on screen. Through discussions, and analysis, students will gain an understanding of the themes, motifs, and filmmakers that have contributed to the cinematic landscape.

Students will critically analyse the representation of diverse voices in many contexts including New Zealand, those of indigenous Māori, Pasifika communities, immigrants, and other marginalized groups.
