{"ModuleCode":"GEK2020","ModuleTitle":"Film Art and Human Concerns","Department":"English Language & Literature","ModuleDescription":"Can movies engage with serious concerns? Through the close study of films by great directors, this module explores how film as an artistic medium can be used to engage with significant socio-cultural and existential concerns. Students will be taught how to analyze film as an artistic medium and, further, how film directors use the aesthetic elements of film to engage with important subjects. Through films by directors like Stanley Kubrick, Orson Welles, Wong Kar-Wai and Zhang Yimou, students get a chance to reflect on issues like the human condition, the family, the urban condition, love and society, and the nation.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"2-1-0-4-3","Preclusion":"GEH1053","ExamDate":"2015-12-03T09:00+0800","ExamOpenBook":true,"ExamDuration":"P2H","ExamVenue":"LT11","Types":["GEM"],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"bb33b0c9-6e78-410b-8894-3d6fb9e1f81d","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"GEK2020","CourseName":"Introduction to Film Art","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 1","CourseAcadYear":"2015/2016","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1432051200000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2015-05-20T00:00:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1449331140000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2015-12-05T23:59:00","CourseMC":"4","isActive":"Y","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Gilbert Yeoh","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"36034dfa-011f-4dc9-ab39-6762637bc5a6","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":false,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":false,"hasClassRosterItems":false,"hasWeblinkItems":false,"hasLecturerItems":false,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":true,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":false,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[],"Lecturers":[],"Descriptions":[{"ID":"5e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Synopsis","Description":"

\r\n\tIMPORTANT NOTE:
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThis module has been slightly modified and is currently offered as GEK2020/GEH1053 Film Art and Human Concerns. It is no longer offered as GEK2020 Introduction to Film Art.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIf you wish to take GEK2020 Introduction to Film Art, you have to take it as GEK2020 Film Art and Human Concerns. For the new module website, look for the IVLE site for GEK2020/GEH1053 Film Art and Human Concerns.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tExcept for some minor changes, GEK2020 Film Art and Human Concerns is very similar to GEK2020 Introduction to Film Art. If you have any questions, feel free to email Dr Gilbert Yeoh (ellyeohg@nus.edu.sg).
