GEN2000 | Film and Multiculturalism

This course aims to enhance learners' inter-cultural understanding by studying films that explore universal human issues. Learners will watch a selection of films that each address a particular facet of the twentieth century phenomenon we call multiculturalism (or cultural diversity). Some of the films will celebrate the triumphs and joys of our increasingly multicultural world; however, others will deal with the darker, uglier side of human co-existence. Issues such as racism and discrimination will be addressed directly rather than obliquely. Learners will be required to question their initial emotional reactions to the films, and to arrive at a reasoned, critical evaluation of each film.
