Introduction to the French New Wave

In this course, participants will explore the groundbreaking world of French New Wave cinema, one of the most revolutionary and celebrated movements in film history. From the electrifying debut of Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" (1960) to François Truffaut's reflective "The 400 Blows" (1959) and Agnès Varda's radical "Cléo from 5 to 7" (1962), we will explore the visionary artistry that redefined filmmaking in the 1960s and beyond. Through an in-depth examination of the movement's iconic directors, unforgettable actors, and cinematic masterworks students will uncover how these films disrupted tradition, and changed global cinema forever.
