60-408 Advanced ETB: Expanded Cinema

10 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This intermediate studio course examines Expanded Cinema as a set of contemporary practices and historical ideas that extend cinematic language beyond the single screen. Through handson production in digital video, editing, and display, students develop projects that experiment with expanded narrative forms, spatialized storytelling, and video installation. The course situates midtwentiethcentury theories of Expanded Cinema alongside current postmedia practices, drawing from experimental film, installation art, and networked screen cultures. Emphasis is placed on cinematic vernacularstime, space, montage, sound, and spectatorshipas they are reconfigured across spatialized, performative, and installationbased contexts. Iterative studio projects, critical viewing, and theoretical discussion establish the primary content of this course.
