Details

March 5 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 fifth discussion of our text will focus on the book's seventh & eighth essays from our text's "Creating" and "Performing" sections:
"Lynch on Lynch" (selection) by Chris Ridley, interview with David Lynch
and
"John Wayne: A Love Song" - by Joan Didion

Plus, we'll spend just a little time discussing, "Some Months After My Father's Death", by Sheryl St. Germain on pages 209-212, the seventh reading in our text's "Watching" section.
