VENUE CHANGE

All future screenings will be held in Claudia Cohen Hall, Room 402. 

The following is the list of remaining screenings for the semester, as the blog will not continue to be updated for each screening: 

April 2nd:  The World.  Zhang Ke-Jia.  2004.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0423176/  (visual storytelling, mise en scene camera work, interesting use of sound) 

April 9th:  Irma Vep.  Olivier Assayas, 1997.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116650/  (film style, application of effects, references film history) 

April 16th:  The Devil's Playground. Lucy Walker, 2002.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293088/  (our only documentary shown for the sole sake of discussing documentary - as opppose to next week which is a documentary about a cinematographer which we're looking at as much for the content as the form.  This documentary focuses on a group of Amish teens and brings up issues of access, trust, and persistence while shooting docs). 

April 23rd:  Tell Them Who You Are.  Mark Wexler, 2006.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420952/   This is a documentary about the important and fascinating cinematographer, Haskell Wexler, made by his son.  It raises questions again about access, truth, and the subject maker relationship in documentary, as well as provides a fascinating glimpse of the person behind the legend.  

April 30th:  The Best of Addams DVLab Video Production Projects - Video 1, Video 2, Cinema Production, and Cinematography.   Final Screening and Party
