À propos

This Film Theory mind map template, created by Bill Anelli for UCSC's Film Theory & Criticism course (2012), organizes 340 nodes across 8 major branches covering ontology, purpose, value, spectatorship, methodology, and epistemology of film. It includes verbatim nodes such as 'WHAT "IS" FILM? WHAT IS THE REALITY OF FILM ITSELF?', 'FILM TELOS (PURPOSE)', and 'SPECTATORSHIP & HUMAN NATURE', with detailed sub-branches on theorists like Christian Metz, Laura Mulvey, and Hugo Munsterberg. The template serves as a comprehensive cheat sheet for students and scholars, mapping key concepts, schools (e.g., 'Feminist', 'Psychoanalytic/Lacan'), and debates in film theory. Its color-coded legend distinguishes analytic, continental, and instructor-added categories, making it a valuable study aid for exam prep or literature review.
