Cinematic Elixirs - MFA 3

Course open to MFA3 students only.
For those who seek in film viewing the deeply
altered state, a weekly experiment in ecstasy,
terror and the ten thousand emotional gradients
between. An eclectic hopscotch through the length
and breadth of film history. We will sample the
intoxicating pleasures of narrative and
experimental, silence and sound, the short and
the long, the purple and the prosaic, B/W and
technicolor, melodrama and realism, the excessive
and the minimal, the overwrought and the
understated, the hieroglyphic and the direct, and
blunt and the mysterious.
