The course aims to provide students with the ability to compare quality cinematic works on historical subjects with an updated, scientific reconstruction of the events and historical period from which the film draws inspiration. The degree to which a film adheres to historical records will, within the course, be determined by the willingness of those who can rightfully be considered the film's authors (director, storyboard, screenwriters, producers) to alter historical truth for expressive and artistic purposes. It therefore remains to be considered whether and to what extent the differences between history and film are justified by artistic needs and the potential "message." The student's ability to conduct a well-documented analysis of the films presented, along with the necessary knowledge for the practical application of cinematic language, is therefore one of the primary educational objectives.
