Discussion Guidelines: Part of the reason why we wish to explore these "classic films" is that this is a rich time in America to explore themes of gender, race, politics, history and more. To have productive, and enjoyable meetings, please keep these courtesies in mind:
-
Please be respectful of group members opinions on these films and the themes discussed.
-
While resources will be discussed and films in question may be researched by the facilitators, we want these discussions to be enjoyable and are not intended to substitute a course.
— Members of the group may vary in their expertise in film studies or media arts. That’s okay – we want people to have fun.
-
Times and locations may differ but we will keep in mind schedules and preferences of core members. There is an opportunity for feedback and film selection. This is a new group, there will be some learning as we go!
Thank you for your participation!
Note:
- There will be time at screenings to have a discussion, and to give feedback about the films and themes.
- Facilitators will include context, and consult scholarly sources, although this will be brief. See blog posts for more information and potential original podcasts.
