The essays/Referate will provide a single, coherent thesis regarding the themes, imagery, or social-historical contexts of three Canadian films, two of which must be drawn from those studied in the course. The most successful essays will bring all three of these important aspects into focus. You might also contextualize two Canadian films from the course with a film from another country and discuss all three regarding the concept of National Cinema.
