The aim of this course is to acquaint students with Balkan social, historical, cultural and political reality through this complex and multidimensional connection between the cinematographic industries in the region and politics. And in this region politics meant sometimes dictatorship or authoritarian regimes and subsequent psychological, social and of course political methods of manipulating by culture. That is why the second most important goal of this course is to prove / demonstrate the manipulating power of cinema industry in general and especially of films economically, financially - and therefore also politically - dependent on the political power in the Balkans. |
