Film Studies

An affable, leisurely, friendly amble through aspects of film criticism (the role of a director, the conventions of film genres such as westerns or sci-fi , the representation of gays/women etc). Also some key moments of film history such as the French new wave, new German cinema, film noir, silent films and much more.

Roughly a third lecture/screening/class discussion; this is a chatty, informal entertaining group. Occasional visits to the cinema occur.  The course is delivered by our member who has 35 years’ experience of the subject as a lecturer in FE and higher education.

Zoom-online every Wednesday: 10.00 to 11.30
