Learning outcomes The curricular unit is organized into two modules, one with greater theoretical incidence and another with greater practical propensity, each corresponding to the following objectives:

Module 1
The main objective of the module is to operationalize the concept of “cinephilia”. Students should be able to: 1) Frame “cinephilia” in the history of cinema; 2) Operationalize cinephilia either through the “filmmakers theory” approach or through the creation of an online cinephile activity.

Module 2
Provide means of reflection on cinema as a way of thinking, through an approximation of concepts and ideas from epistemology and philosophical theory with film theory.
Syllabus Module 1:
1. Cinephilia: contextualization. The “old” and the “new” cinephilia.
2. Operationalize cinephilia:
2.1 The “filmmakers theory” approach: the interviews.
2.2 Online movie activities.
3. Classroom presentation of a work consisting either of a written essay based on interviews with a filmmaker or a proposal for an online cinephile activity.

Module 2:
