Film Studies: 5 Road Movies Revisited
A fun and accessible course exploring a selection of Road Movies. The road movie is now considered a staple genre of popular cinema, particularly Hollywood, but what are many of these films actually about? Often seeming low on plot and with endings which are often inconclusive and open to discussion. Why a road movie? What where do they come from in terms of cultural points of reference, are they really just an U.S thing? We have fun and develop our cinematic knowledge by exploring a selection of Road Movies from the U.S and beyond.

Film & Media: The Women Who Built The Film Industry
This course aims to introduce learners to the stories of some pioneering women from early cinema history who were hugely important to the development of the art, craft, and business of film, but who modern movie goers may not know. We’ll look at the unique challenges they faced as women in their times, their contributions – in some cases – deliberately overlooked, but also the immense possibilities of the emerging cinema industry. With a wealth of clips and background material.

Literature: Six Classic Novels you can read in Six weeks
Each week we focus on a classic work of fiction, reading and discussing key passages. The texts include short novels which can be read in one week, and longer novels which we’ll study over two weeks. The course is organised chronologically and spans over 200 years, from the mid-19th century to modern times. We begin with Jane Eyre and end with Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. We’ll share and debate interpretations, sharpen our critical and appreciative faculties, understand what fiction can tell us about the society and culture that produced it, and, hopefully, be inspired to read other works by the writers featured on the course.
There will be no class week of the 18th March
