Lesson 11 - Formalist- and Realist-styles of film-making

                                        

Homework for next Thursday: Select 2 clips from 2 different films (from 2 different countries)  to illustrate your ideas – be ready to give a 5-10 minute talk based on your clips and how and why they illustrate the main features of a formalist or realist film.
Groups:
Formalists: Jimmy and Diego; Cristina and Deborah
    Realists: Ximena and Yoko; Oscar and Alfredo
       Some questions to consider before your talk:

1) What are realistic films supposed to reproduce?
2) Why are formalist films stylistically flamboyant?
3) Why are formalist directors referred to as expressionists?
4) Why would realists be more concerned with psychological truths?
