History and Appreciation of Film Part 2

Service Description

In Part 1 of this class, we traced the movie business from 1902 to 1960 using the "American Film Institute’s 100 Greatest American Films of All Time" as our guide. In Part 2 we will focus on the brief period from 1967 to 1979 during which more than 25% of the movies on the “greatest” list were made. Through the viewing of film clips from some of the most famous movies ever made, we’ll learn what led to this prolific era in filmmaking and spawned the careers of the likes of Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola, Scorsese, and others. FYI : You do NOT need to have taken Part 1 to attend and enjoy Part 2. History and Appreciation of Film Part 2 is a repeat of the class offered in February of 2023. Class size is limited to 39 due to theater capacity. Don Hart, retired CCSD Language Arts teacher, and former television situation comedy writer.
