Cinema Studies: Sound Cinema Comes of Age 1926–1960

X400.2 (2 semester units in Film Studies)

The new technology of synchronized sound revolutionized the art of cinema in 1926. Trace the beginnings of sound cinema with a look at early Vitagraph Sound films and excerpts from the classic film The Jazz Singer with Al Jolson. Then view the works of film directors who explored unique uses of sound—Von Sternberg, Reifenstahl, Chaplin, Welles, Rossellini, Truffaut, and Polanski—and investigate the ways that various sound filmic styles were developed and employed to catalyze the evolution of modern cinema.
