ARTS 4640 - Science Fictions


Science Fictions is an advanced narrative video production and theory course. The class looks at thematic areas of science fiction, utopia and dystopia, paranormal, and speculative fiction. ‘Speculative fiction’ is a genre that looks at the real world and extends what is known about it, building on the ‘real.’ The class has two threads: to study narrative structure and create a series of sci-fi videos; to discuss and analyze mainstream and avant-garde science fiction films and themes from the early 1900s to the present.
