This unique cinema history continues with a close look at the post-war period as reflected by cinema around the world. This class covers the period 1946-1947. Especially notable during these two years are the origins of the Blacklist, as McCarthyism took hold in America, and the numerous fine examples of film noir emanating from Hollywood. In addition, this was the start of the richest period for British cinema and there was a new mood among filmmakers across much of Europe, especially Italy, with the arrival of neo-realism. A feature will screen at each session as well as numerous clips.
