This term offers rich opportunities for course connections, including stunning adaptations of The Odyssey from both Christopher Nolan (The Odyssey) as well as Uberto Pasolini (The Return), a mesmerizing documentary about the environments living beneath our feet with a talk from writer Robert Macfarlane (Underland), and a powerful tale of the realities of modern immigration and the American Dream (El Norte). This term also offers influential classics on the big screen, like My Neighbor Totoro and Metropolis with live organ accompaniment!
There are also a number of free films that offer thought-provoking opportunities for class discussion. The Alabama Solution takes viewers inside the walls of the corrupt Alabama state prison system, Preconceived explores the deceptive practices of crisis pregnancy centers, and the Oscar-winning documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putin returns to the Hop, this time with filmmaker Pavel Talankin attending in person. Also, the Met Opera in HD presentations are free to students and great for connecting with language classes, theater and more!
