This module explores a largely neglected approach of interpreting cinema, through the lens of Eastern Philosophies. The rich sources of Eastern philosophies offer great insights on ethics, aesthetics, and human¿s relationship with nature, nonbeings, and the cosmos. Focusing on Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, it examines how cinema invokes these philosophies, how filmmakers in East Asia respond to such philosophical and aesthetic heritage in their practices, and how western films and other non-Asian cinemas could also be approached through Eastern Philosophies.
