The Film Criticism course aims to address the various ways of studying, understanding and interpreting cinema through writing, proposing a reflection on what criticism is, what it is for, what makes it up and how it is produced. This course explores in depth the conception of criticism in the field of cinema and its connection to the disciplines of Visual Arts, Music, Literature and Performing Arts. At the end of the theoretical-practical course, an edition will be published with critical texts written by the participants and guest tutors. This will be the third edition of the Film Criticism course, curated by the critic and film director Saguenail.
