LMCCE.orgIndependent Films: Now and Forever!
Rather than focusing on the latest movie releases, Dr. Michael
DiGennaro carefully chooses independent films that are worthy of
study. He introduces the director and film prior to the screening,
and then follows with a lecture and discussion that goes beyond
plot to focus on cultural context, narrative themes and cinematic
technique. The same film is shown on alternate Monday evenings
and Wednesday afternoons, so if you can’t make it one week
you’ll have a second opportunity. Films shown during the most
recent semester included
Pride
(a British film dealing with the
true story of the LGBT community’s support for the striking
miners in 1984),
Force Majeure
(a psychological examination of
a marriage set in a French ski resort) and
Beyond the Lights
(an
American film set in the contemporary pop music world).
Michael DiGennaro, PhD, is a former Mamaroneck High School
English teacher and a film scholar and instructor.
