What we’re about
Sometimes, stepping away is necessary for gaining perspective.
Glad to be back, and welcome to Film Essay Online Meetup. This group will meet online, will be focused on film essays, for those
-
who view cinema as an art form
-
who want to "peel the skin" off of a good film to see the heart and organs that makes it tick
-
who want a deeper appreciation of a film's thematic structure and overall arc
-
who want to see a film in a way that makes it an entirely new experience
-
who like deep films by deep directors and screenwriters
-
who want a film essay/breakdown that is insightful, thoroughly researched, and entertaining
We will view a video essay of a film I select which will consist of the following:
- film summary
- my purpose and intention for doing the essay
- thesis
- point by point/subject analysis (comparison, contrast, etc)
- trivia related to film (production, actors, etc)
- Q&A from members
Again, glad to be back from the long hiatus but as I said, sometimes stepping away to gain a fresh perspective is good. Let me know what you think of the new setup and direction of the group by shooting a comment. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
