Screenings

 

 

 

For most, but not all weeks, you are required to attend class screenings (see course schedule). It is imperative that you see all films the weeks they are scheduled. If you cannot see all the films at the class screenings, drop the course.

There will be two screenings of all scheduled films, on Monday and a repetition of the program Tuesday nights (7:00pm). For weeks when there are more than one film scheduled, the screening order will be reversed on Tuesdays. That is, on Monday night films will be shown in the order listed in the syllabus, and on Tuesday night in reverse order.

As much as possible, you should see films twice. You are expected to take and keep notes on the films, and to review your notes for discussions and papers.
