A dystopia is a fictional society that is the antithesis or complete opposite of a utopia (an ideal world with a perfect social, political and technological infrastructure; a world without chaos, strife or hunger).   

Dystopian films often construct a fictional universe and set it in a background which features scenarios such as dehumanizing technological advancements, man-made disease or disasters or class-based revolutions. The motivation for such films is often to warn members of a current society of the consequences the future could hold should they continue on their current path.


In this course, students will study aspects of dystopian fiction juxtaposed with elements of film making,  and assess and evaluate the work in terms of effective use of film and story elements to convey the intended message.
