課程簡述	Week1-10週: Dominique Liao / Week 11-16: Wah Guan Lim The 2025 iteration of this graduate seminar is co-taught by Dominique Liao and Wah Guan Lim. Cinema is an exclusive art composed by many different artistic forms and elements, and understanding its own language, style, and aesthetics is essential for film analyses of any kind. Therefore, we will devote the first 10 weeks to focus on building a solid foundation of cinematic analyses before delving into specific examples from and about Taiwan. The first two-thirds of this course will train you to analyze the mise-en-scène, shot-sequence, narrative, cinematic structure, aesthetics, and narratology. We will encourage you to apply these ways of viewing on works by Hou Hsiao Hsien, Edward Yang, Tsai Ming-liang, Ko Yi-cheng, Chen Yu-hsun, Chang Tso-Chi, and Huang Hsin-yao, among other filmmakers
