National Osher Online - Cinema in Transition: Exploring Change through Classic Films

Spring is a time of new life, as we watch the world around us change from dormant to full of life. We will watch several classic films, all with a theme of change. Films will be watched on your own outside of the classroom, with at least one film assigned per week. We will unpack each film in terms of its style, story, filmmaking technique, and how it fits with the theme of change.

Tuesdays; 4/08, 4/15, 4/22, 4/29, 5/06, 5/13 , Synchronous Online
