Workshop: A New Way of Seeing — How to Read & Discuss Film
Saturday, December 7th, 2-4pm
Mount Sinai Hospital, Room 939
Film and television are powerful media for storytelling, making use of a wide range of expressive tools to convey meaning and to evoke emotional responses. This workshop will offer a practical introduction on how to engage more deeply with film in both individual and group settings. Through a series of interactive exercises and guided viewing, learn strategies and descriptive language for performing a close reading of a film—examining aspects of form and narrative—and leading, or participating in, group discussions about film.
