Are you looking to fulfill your “C” and “W” requirements during Autumn Quarter?

There are spaces in a number of 5-credit Writing Links offered by the Interdisciplinary Writing Program (IWP) that are not part of a FIG.

Writing Links have a maximum enrollment of 21, no prerequisites, and are particularly helpful for international students and multilingual language learners. For all undergraduates, IWP Links count toward English Comp ("C") credit or Additional Writing ("W") distribution requirements. Additionally, up to two Writing Links (10 credits total) taken at the 200 level can count toward the English Minor: http://depts.washington.edu/engl/ugrad/minor.php.

This course will provide an introduction to classical Hollywood cinema through the work of several key filmmakers, beginning with the golden age of the studio system in the 1930s and 1940s and extending into the early days of "New Hollywood” in the 1960s. Directors will include Frank Capra, Charlie Chaplin, John Ford, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Ida Lupino, Nicholas Ray, Douglas Sirk, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, and others. In addition to the lives and work of those directors, the course will address topics such as the history of the Hollywood studios, the major genres, the Production Code and censorship, movie technology, the star system, styles of acting, lighting and cinematography, production design and the "look" of Hollywood movies, women filmmakers in the studio era, the position of African-American artists inside and outside the Hollywood system, and the rise of independent cinema in the 1960s.
