Teaching language: Greek
C.M. Objective – Description:
This course module aims to familiarize students with a theoretical language, and a wider -directly related to the present and constantly evolving- aesthetic discussion regarding the particularities and prospects of cinematic storytelling. As a basic point of reference, the philosophy refers to both the content of cinema as an art form and its formal audio-visual journey – indeed, the two are intrinsically connected. The unit will primarily focus on phenomenology, with particular emphasis on Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who demonstrated the everyday life and point of view of the subject through his works, and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, as expounded in his two-volume work on cinema (Cinema I: The Movement-Image, Cinema II: The Time-Image).

L.C.M. Objective – Description:
Producing a feature film is the cooperative art form par excellence. To successfully complete their task, film productions need cooperation between all specializations involved in pursuit of a common creative goal. Naturally, the director plays a crucial role in the cultivation of just such a cooperative environment. The present L.C.M. discusses the parameters of this cooperation throughout all stages of production.
Lessons will also delve into the structure of film plots, focusing on the heterogeneity of temporal constructions and the particularities of linear, elliptical, and non-linear narrative structures. Another topic of discussion will be the internal timing of shots as related to how they are joined through editing, both in simple, linear narratives and in complex re-organizations of the temporal axis through the use of precursors, recursions, inversions, reiterations and/or multiple versions of the same period of time. Finally, lessons will discuss how these structural choices serve the narrative and define viewer engagement.

C.M. Objective – Description:
The present C.M. Aims to discuss and analyze the particular aesthetics and practices of directors belonging to the soviet school, who used dialectical editing in service of political and propaganda purposes. The crux of the matter is a form of cine-poetics or rhetoric originating in historical materialism, which seeks to create active, critical viewers and rejects cinematic “voyeurism”, primarily through the Brechtian defamiliarization effect. This is contrasted with the academicism, practice of “invisible editing”, identification and omnipotence of Hollywood and its dominant genres, the detective story and the western.

Students will become acquainted with the approaches adopted in different conditions through decisions on frame composition, selected angle of view, and their combination with motion or lack thereof. Concurrently, lessons will also delve into issues regarding the results of the aforementioned preferences, in addition to the aesthetics of use of perspective and high or low depth of field. Finally, the evolution in the design and applications of film cameras from the period of (negative) film to modern digital sensors will be analyzed.

The present C.M. examines how cinema interacts with psychoanalysis, with particular emphasis on dreams. Lessons will focus on concepts of psychoanalysis that have been utilized in film studies, particularly: (a) the dream mechanism and (b) the experience of the dreamer.

On the other, we have the position of the subjective viewer, and how it is shaped by the film and its viewing condition. The primary references will be to Freud’s “dream mechanism”, Lacan’s theory of identification, and the film theorists Christian Metz and Thierry Kuntzel. Students are encouraged to become acquainted with the psychoanalytic film theories and their applications in understanding the function of cinema and film analysis.

C.M. Objective – Description:
The present course module discusses the fundamental principles of anthropological cinema and aspects of visual culture and ethnographic depictions through the use of audio-visual means. The unit will examine how the technologies of these means have been utilized up to the present day, as well as the relevant modern theoretical discussions, offering students an in-depth look at the history of the ethnographic documentary and the theory of anthropological and sociological cinema, or the fields of visual anthropology and visual sociology correspondingly, as they are known today.
It may be a coincidence, but cinema appeared at roughly the same time as the discipline of the social sciences we know as social anthropology, a field which comes part and parcel with in-situ research, participatory observation, and the so-called “ethnographic documentary”. Social anthropology and cinema both appeared in the late 19th century; while the Lumière brothers attempted to document the everyday life and “reality” they saw around them, social anthropologists were making efforts to document their experiences studying communities and tribes, peoples and their customs, and their relation with nature, thus introducing a novel approach to the humanities and audio-visual means while concurrently offering a new and powerful connection between subjects and researchers.
The term “ethnographic documentary” has for many years been intrinsically connected with the field of social anthropology, a connection that has given rise to a number of misconceptions regarding the term. Modern-day anthropology, as well as the entirety of the humanities and the social sciences, reject the stereotypical exoticism of the past and include audio-visual means in their research, proposing new and different ways of thinking about the world around us and researching a constantly shifting otherness.

The focus will be on historical moments in which practices expanded and re-iterated what audio-visual language means: historic cinematic advances, neo-pioneers and the emergence of expanded cinema and video art, recent developments spurred by digitization, the Internet, digital mobile phones, etc. Students are encouraged to learn about the incredible wealth of opportunities provided to audio-visual expression, while also discussing theoretical issues such as whether and how technological advances influence audio-visual language and understanding of the world around us. Lessons will focus, among other topics, on heterogeneity, the value of documentation, virtuality, and interactivity. The C.M. adheres mainly to a semiotic methodology, embellished with philosophical concepts from the Frankfurt School to post-structuralism and new media theories, as well as with the manifestos and practices of artists from surrealism to digital art.
