From “On the Waterfront” to “The Shape of Water”: What Makes Movies Great – NEW!
Adult Intensive | This class is completed
A movie needs to be more than a display of technical virtuosity; it should also tell a compelling story. Explore a variety of film genres and filmmakers, from Chaplin to Coppola to the Coen Bros, always with an eye to the story. You’ll gain a greater appreciation for cinema, as well as getting a chance to write your own short film review.
