This course investigates cinema's border-crossing modes of production, reception, and circulation, to uncover the ways in which the study of cinema enriches current theories and approaches to the transnational. Films and sites to be explored may include Asian co-productions (documentaries, feature films, shorts), transnational genre adaptations (e.g., The Ring/Ringu), and film festivals.
