Ceddo, "Third Cinema," and Keenan

For the week of September 22nd, we’ll be discussing Ceddo, the articles on “third cinema,” and Keenan. For the articles on “third cinema,” in particular, you should try to relate the readings to scenes or sequences that you found relevant in Ceddo. That is also true for the Rosen essay, which is a great place to start for any analysis of the film. Finally, think of what Keenan’s observations about the nature of TV images might mean for the kind of revolutionary action that “third cinema” advocates. How does Keenan’s theory complicate the relationship between revolutionary ideology and revolutionary film and video aesthetics?
