Course Description:

Perhaps no film director has been more identified with the late 20th-century renaissance of independent American cinema than Jim Jarmusch. Born in Akron, Ohio but raised on a diet of European arthouse and American underground cinema, Jarmusch’s work is renowned for its characteristic droll humor, minimalist visual aesthetic, and centrality of music. Garnering top awards at Cannes, Locarno, Sundance, and smaller festivals too numerous to mention, Jarmusch’s iconic (and laconic) body of work, unfettered by studio budgets and special effects, has been an inspiration to aspiring young filmmakers across the globe for nearly forty years. Films to be explored: "Stranger Than Paradise" (1984); "Down by Law" (1986); "Mystery Train" (1989); and, "Paterson*" (2016). *Subject to availability.
