Critical assessment of the relationship between people and nature, using film as the springboard for discussion. Assess the human perception of nature, and our place in it, using films representing four major themes: 1) wilderness and the frontier; 2) man vs. nature; 3) international perspectives on nature; and 4) destruction of the environment. Films will be drawn from various genres, including animated film, drama, western, and science fiction. Full-length feature films will be paired with in-class screenings of independent documentary films that are provided to our class by internationally
recognized film-makers. (Given at Beaufort) Instructor: Burns.
