Doors Open -- Dr. Aaron Taylor: Contemporary American Cinema - CINE 3000
Dates: Tuesday October 15th or Thursday October 17
Time: 3 - 4:15 PM
Location: W731
Description: This collaborative, student-centered class focusses on several forms of contemporary American filmmaking practices, and provides a historical overview of production, distribution, and exhibition trends as well providing thorough-going instruction in the fundamentals of film criticism. Those interested in collaborative approaches to teaching and group-driven instruction within a mid-sized class (30+ students) are welcome to attend. We’ll be having our first conversation about the importance of criticism, and how to wrestle (ideologically!) with the pleasures of a “bad” film.
