Description
This program will not be recorded.This course will introduce film movements and some of the greatest films made (according to critics, but you can judge for yourself) from the 1920s to the 1960s. We will begin by discussing how and where films were made in the 1920s and how the filmmaking process evolved over the next 40+ years. We will also cover what to look for as you watch the films selected for the course. During weeks 2 through 6, we will watch at least one film during the week. Then, during the class session, we will unpack the film in terms of style, story, filmmaking technique, and impact on society and culture. Over the six weeks of the course, you will discover some of the best films made and learn about what makes them great.
