Course Description: 
This course takes students to cities around the world, and across time, examining how national cinemas have richly depicted and interpreted urban life during the last hundred years. We will study both screen images as well as the business structure that produces them and the audiences that view them. The urban focus of the course is international, including Tokyo, London and Rome, but the "home" setting is Philadelphia itself. (This is an Honors course.) NOTE: This course fulfills the World Society (GG) requirement for students under GenEd and International Studies (IS) for students under Core. Students cannot receive credit for this course if they have successfully completed FMA 0969. Also, prior to fall 2023, the title for FMA 0869 was "Imaginary Cities."

This course will take you to cities around the world and examine how national cinemas have depicted and interpreted urban life during the last one hundred years. We will study screen images as well as the natural and built environments that produce them. 


How have filmmakers depicted and narrativized urban environments? How do we experience and understand those environments? How has the city been rendered as a visual text? How does a city’s perpetual evolution coincide with cinema’s evolution? How might the urban movie image change as urban environments become more densely populated? This course is grounded in concerns about the evolving nature of the urban experience and cinema’s interaction and representation of urban history, topography, architecture, and culture. Some of the first moving images shown to audiences depict everyday scenes of city life, and films have showcased cityscapes ever since. While these images proliferate in popular culture, what does one make of these cinematic representations of cities? What do films tell us about urban life? More importantly, what do cities frozen on celluloid want to tell us about themselves? Because the growth of the cinema and the rise of global cities share similar histories, some theorists have argued that an urban aesthetic is inherently cinematic. What does such an observation signify in the history of cities and the ways in which filmmakers continue filming them? Students in this course will interrogate the intersections between cities—real or imagined—and cinema to determine what the metropolis in film signifies about both the overlapping temporalities of the filmed image and the viewer watching those images today. The course begins with an examination of early city life and then moves to modernist city-films and finally ends with more contemporary images and interpretations of cities that take on what one could refer to as a global city-film aesthetic.

Some of the ideas that we will explore in this class:

  • What questions must filmmakers and their crews address when setting a film or a scene in a specific location?
  • How does a filmmaker “invent” a fictional city? Or alternatively, how does a filmmaker convey or “reinvent” a real city?
  • In what ways do films and cities intersect?
  • What markers identify a place as a “city”? What makes a film a film?
  • What is the role of an urban object (public art, architecture, mass transit) in film and how might an audience determine that object’s meaning within that film? Examples: Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, Paris’ Eiffel Tower, London’s Underground.
  • What is a character’s relationship to the city and why is this important?
  • What is their conflict/response to the political and cultural climate? Example: How does Spike Lee’s Bed Stuy film differ from Joe Talbot’s San Francisco?
  • How do we “read” a city? How do we read a film?

GenEd

This class fulfills a GenEd requirement in the area of World Societies. GenEd Global/World Society courses explore societies and cultures outside of the United States. These courses take one of two approaches. Some concentrate on a single nation or region, examining in depth its political, social, historical, cultural, artistic, literary, geographic, and/or economic landscape.

Others investigate globalization and its effects across nations and regions.

Instructional Methods

How this course will be taught:

This class is designed as a cross between film history and urban studies. We will trace the development of cinema, its technologies, and the spaces where films are shown alongside the parallel growth and transformation of urban life. The objective is to expose you to some of the classics of motion pictures while using the city as a framework for analysis.

The course will combine lecture, screenings, and group discussion. Before each film, you will be asked to do preliminary research and share your findings with your peers. After screenings, time permitting, we will exchange insights and reflections, drawing connections between the film and broader questions about cinema and the city.

*****

Honors The Cinematic City 0969 will have regular assignments, readings, video components, individual/group activities, discussion boards, and film screenings both in class and via streaming services:

Assignments: There are three assignments. All assignments must be submitted on Canvas in the designated assignment folder.

#1 Create Your Own Actualité Using your cell phone or a small video camera, create a series of three one minute films done in one shot (no edits) that capture something vibrant and unique about the city you live in. Pay attention to composition (framing) Light and movement. Shoot as many as you like but the goal is to screen only one. Deliver a 2-3 page paper on why you chose that film—compare and contrast the shift in technologies that led to the advent of The Lumiere Brothers Films and those that you made for the class.

This assessment tool is designed to accompany learning objectives: 1, 3, 4, 5 Due on September 15, 2025 by 11:59pm. Submit through Canvas.

#2 Small Group Assignment: History of A Movie Theater

In small assigned groups, research the history of a currently active of now defunct cinema space in the city of Philadelphia. If the space is active, trace the building’s architectural history back as far as possible. If the space is defunct, do the same, but offer a timeline as to when the space no longer screened films and what businesses or facility replaced it. Your job is to deliver a 3-4 page paper that paints a picture of the experience of seeing films in a communal setting back then or now and to explore the spaces in which movies are seen. Use Temple Urban Archive, Cinematreasures.org and first-hand accounts as jumping off points. This is a group project.

Due on September 29, 2025 by 11:59pm. Submit through Canvas.
This assessment tool is designed to accompany learning objectives: 1, 2, 4, 5

#3 Final Project: City in Film in Three Parts

Part I. City in Film Theme and Thesis: This assignment focuses on the identification of a film for your final project. You may use any film except those covered in this class! Once you’ve identified a film, you should screen the film at least once and then create a list of themes. What types of themes does the filmmaker explore in this film? Be specific. From this list, choose one theme and write a thesis statement that argues how this theme is supported by the film’s city.

Due on Monday, November 10, 2025 by 11:59pm. Submit through Canvas. This assessment tool is designed to accompany learning objectives: 1, 2, 3

Part II. City in Film Analysis Slide Show: You will create a 15 slide analysis slide show that contextualizes the film in its city. For instance, you might argue that Rocky (Avildsen, 1976), set in the City of Brotherly Love, conveys a very specific concept of Philadelphia. This concept of Philadelphia reflects the important socio-political factors of the 1970s and also supports the story of an underdog boxer from Kensington. You might also argue that the genre contributes significantly to the city’s own perception of itself therefore making this film almost synonymous with the city itself. Which visual, stylistic and thematic elements help to convey Rocky’s city? How is the Rocky a reflection of the socio- political context? A slideshow that articulates carefully a few important ideas and analyzes their significance will fare much better than one that simply presents a laundry list with no analysis or commentary. Concentrate on themes, visual metaphors, stylistic elements, genre, filmic terms, theories (such as social organization or city organization), socio-political context, character relationships and other elements about the film in question to make an argument about the film’s city. Cite relevant texts from both the readings and outside sources to support your positions. You are required to have at least 3 sources and a WORKS CITED page on your final slide.

Due on no later than Monday, December 8, 2025 by 11:59pm. Submit through Canvas. This assessment tool is designed to accompany learning objectives: 1, 2, 3, 4

Part III. Final Presentation is the final exam. Students will present their Assignment 3, Part II slideshow. This presentation will be more informal following a Pecha Kucha format. Pecha Kucha (Japanese for “chit-chat”) is a story-telling format where the speaker presents 15+ visual slides at a rate of 20 seconds per slide (for a total of 5 minutes). This format privileges visual material and pushes the speaker to draw a clear through-line through the content. This is a chance to present your film, thesis idea and walk me through your presentation.

This assessment tool is designed to accompany learning objectives: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

FINAL PRESENTATIONS: 5 minutes per presentation beginning Tuesday, December 5, 2025

Late Work: All work is due by 11:59pm on its due date. If you submit work later than this

cutoff, it will be accepted with the following understanding:

Work submitted after 11:59pm on the day due up to 6 days later, will be dropped one letter grade (“B” or lower)
Work submitted 1 week late but before the end of the semester, will be dropped by 50% of the possible points allowed.

It is always better to hand in work late than not at all
