For this essay, you may come up with an original research topic of your own, or you may
respond to ONE or TWO of the three prompts below.
If you are proposing your own topic, you have a fair amount of leeway to research any aspect of
film history up through 1945. Some possibilities include (but are not limited to) a particular
national cinema; technological / aesthetic / economic trends in the American film industry; a
particular genre or movement in film; representations of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, etc.; or
an expanded / in-depth consideration of a topic covered in the course, such as censorship and the
Production Code.
You must use at least three reliable sources, which may be from the assigned readings; and you
should consider at least three films. I recommend discussing your ideas with me in advance.
Cite your sources using MLA format.
OR
Choose ONE or TWO of the following topics (for a TOTAL of 2,000-2,500 words). Whichever
you choose, I strongly recommend re-watching the films that you discuss. Cite sources using
MLA format.
1) Compare/contrast two movements in European film from the 1920s or 1930s. These may
include Soviet Montage (The Man with a Movie Camera), the European Avant-Garde (various
short films), German Expressionism (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari), or French “art films” (Zero
for Conduct, The Grand Illusion). You may also choose to view alternate films from any of
these movements, or from other relevant national cinemas of the 1920s or 30s, such as Sweden
(which would involve additional research on your part). Your response must refer substantially
to at least two films and at least two of the assigned readings. Your response should focus on the
historical contexts of the films in question, which may include concerns such as aesthetics, film
industry practices, larger historical forces, etc.
2) Discuss the various changes that take place in Hollywood during the early sound period
(roughly 1926/27- 1931/32). You should consider at least two films, which may be short or
feature length, and you should refer substantially to the assigned readings. Your response should
focus on the historical contexts of the films in question, which may include concerns such as
aesthetics, film industry practices, etc.
3) Compare/contrast Hollywood films of the 1930s-40s (as represented by Stagecoach, or The
Adventures of Robin Hood, or Design for Living, or The Lady Eve, or Foreign Correspondent)
with either the French cinema of the 1930s (as represented by Zero for Conduct and/or The
Grand Illusion) or the Italian Neorealist movement (epitomized by Rome Open City). Your
response should focus on the historical contexts of the films in question, which may include
concerns such as aesthetics, film industry practices, etc.; and you should draw substantially on at
least two of the assigned readings.
