Spring Semester Begins

http://www.fadedrequiem.com/zoetrope/?p=631

For anyone wondering, the spring semester begins January 13th. If you are in (or are considering taking) my Art of the Cinema class, the syllabus and schedule are now posted in the Class Materials section of the site. I will soon be posting a viewing schedule and the assignments in full. If you are in one of my History of the Cinema classes, you are probably just here browsing since all of your material will be located in Blackboard. I will hopefully be drawing both classes together for some discussion and will certainly referring to this site as a great way to see what we are doing in the Art of the Cinema. I wold suggest that both classes follow FilmClasses on Twitter. I will use twitter to announce items and also provide interesting observations or even images (my collection of iPhone pictures from…

Classes for Spring 2010

http://www.fadedrequiem.com/zoetrope/?p=604

After a brief hiatus for the Fall semester; I am proud to announce that not only will Art 184 – The Art of Cinema be taught as a face to face class in the Spring, Art 185 – The History of Cinema will be offered as an online class. I am very excited to be able to be offering both classes and hope that you will spread the word. The Art of Cinema will be held Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 8:30. Just a note, this all could change – but I hope not!

Some News for Sunday Evening

http://www.fadedrequiem.com/zoetrope/?p=532

As you may have notice (or not), our blog had a short moment of down time. This was initiated by me deleting my entire directory for my websites. I did have some backups, but some images were lost. Hence, things may look a bit different but I assure you, it’s still the same. For those of you looking to venture into an electronic journal rather than a printed one; I have set-up a journal within Blackboard for our class to use. You just need to go to Blackboard, log in, find our class in your list, and then click on film journal. These journals act more like blogs since everyone can view your entries. Remember that when you post. Finally, all of my links were compromised a bit. There is only one complete listing of links from this blog as of now. I am…

Model Meltdown and Other Long Tales

http://www.fadedrequiem.com/resonance/2009/03/18/model-meltdown-and-other-long-tales/

To truly experience a film from India (Bollywood), you must prepare yourself for at least 3 hours of random singing and dancing and no kissing on the lips. The only problem with that is if you intend to watch Fashion, which does not have random singing and dancing. It does have music video moments [...]
