Details

February 6 we will continue discussing essays from our timely new text for 2020 Double Features: Big Ideas in Film
which "examines our understanding of movies and the effect they have on our wider culture."

The twenty-three selections in this innovative new anthology explore different aspects of film and filmmaking, from the perspective of artists and creators, directors and producers, and audiences and critics."

This fourth discussion of our text will focus on the book's fifth & sixth essays from our text's "Creating" section:
"In the Blink of an Eye" (selection) by Walther Murch
and
"One Hang, We All Hang": High Plains Drifter - by Richard Hutson

Plus, we'll spend just a little time discussing, "Skyshoot", by Manuel Munoz on pages 159-168, the second reading in our text's "Watching" section.
