Deepen your appreciation and understanding of this fantastic modern art. Begin with a 15 minute introduction to the history, context, anecdotes and “Things to Look For.” Then see a celebrated, exciting, but somewhat rare film in its entirety. Follow that with a discussion that could be interesting and hopefully very spirited. The average class time is about 2.5 hours, depending on the film. There will be a great variety of unusual presentations which might include, Pepe le Moko, Sunrise, What Makes Sammy Run, Yojimbo, Never On a Sunday, Midnight In Paris, Diabolique, Broken Blossoms, Patterns or similar choices (suggestions welcomed). New choices for students who have taken the class before.
