COVID-19 - 'Watching and reporting on films of our own choice'

6/5/2020

We decided to watch a film of our own choice during the month. During our scheduled Film as Literature class time, we will write up some thoughts about the film and share this with the rest of the class. This worked well for our April 8 time. There was a wide range of films watched and it was interesting to read about these. I would be interested in watching some if I can source them, and I am sure other member of the class would also be interested in following up on some of them. Films watched included Brassed Off, Arthur Newman, Bran Nue Dae, The Physician, The Stranger (a Netflix series), the new Phryne Fisher movie, Lion, and Shaun the Sheep. In general, the class members enjoyed the process and are interested in continuing until we can resume our usual class sessions.

About Film as Literature

Do you enjoy watching films? Do you find discussing films adds to your enjoyment? Do you find that you can better understand a movie by hearing and sharing thoughts about the film? Then come along to our Film as Literature class. In the class we discuss a film we have watched, discussing the film as we would a book. In 2020:

We will select a film screening at BPACC
Participants will attend the film at a time which meets with their individual commitments.
We will meet in the Library on the 2nd Wednesday at 1.30 to discuss the film.
If a participant cannot attend a specific film, they can come along to learn about the film, or add to the discussion by talking about a film they have seen.,

BPACC sell books of ten tickets for $97.50 (meaning the films only cost $9.75 each) or Joy will have individual tickets available for $9.75 from a book prepurchased.
