Description

Students enrolled in this course will learn the ins and outs of organizing and executing a film series, using the IV Theater as their “lab.” They will gain hands on experiences in programming, tracking down prints, contacting and working with distributors and filmmakers, fundraising, advertising, engaging in audience outreach, theater managing, exhibiting, researching, and reviewing. Attendance requirements include all Monday class hours and an even distribution of film attendance on Friday and Monday night screenings. In other words, each student signs up for three films and splits duties with fellow enrollees by class pre-arrangement, though attendance at films is encouraged.
