Requirement for
Short Film Analysis

During the semester, at least one of the films you select for analysis must have an international perspective. Because the Schoolcraft College International Institute has selected South Asia as their geographic focus for 2009, your international film must focus on India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, or Sri Lanka.

Even though All About My Dog – Marimo is a Japanese film, it would not meet the international requirement for this course. However, there is no reason that a Japanese film could not be selected for analysis. In fact, I would encourage you to watch international films that don't meet the "international requirement."

Requirement for
Short Film Analysis (Response)

During the semester, at least one of the films selected by a colleague to which you respond must have an international perspective. Any film designated as an international film in the film index may be chosen.

For example, even though 10 Minutes is not set in South Asia, because it had been selected for analysis during a previous semster, it would fulfill the international requirement for this semester.
