This unit is a study of contemporary Asia through cinema. Students develop an understanding of cultural diversity, commonality and exchanges amongst Asian countries. The unit examines, through the study of various films, how social shifts (local, Asia-wide or global) affect the everyday life of the individual. The unit also examines how cinema can challenge and influence the viewer's perception of such issues as identity, race and nationality, and thereby have an impact upon wider changes in society.<br/><br/>The unit also compares the reception of films in the countries of origin and countries to which they are exported. The unit is conducted in English. -- Course Website
