Novels Into Film
We will read four novels together, discussing the elements of fiction (character, setting, plot, point of view, and theme) and deconstructing interpretations. Following each novel, we will view the film derived from the novel, paying attention to the various elements of film-making (camera techniques, lighting, special effects, sound, acting, and mise-en-scene) and the means by which the director and others (actors, cinematographer, art director, and editor) have interpreted the novel. We will be looking at the following novels and films: Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens (The 1946 David Lean film); The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald (the 1949 Elliot Nugent and 2012 Baz Luhrman adaptations); The Decendants, by Kaui Hart Hemmings (the 2012 Alexander Payne adaptation); and The Woman In Black, by Susan Hill (the 2012 James Watkins film adaptation).

Hitchcock’s Women Part II: Spellbound by Beauty
In this workshop we will look at some important Hitchcock films, starting with his work in England during the silent era, when his fascination with the “cool blonde” heroine began, and trace the development of women in his films through the late Hollywood masterpieces. Does Hitchcock portray women sympathetically? Does he acknowledge their place and the place of men in the patriarchal system that governs our societal interactions? What do Hitchcock’s women tell us about the times and culture in which the films were made? In answering these questions, we’ll take a hard look at the films themselves and at the cinematic methods Hitchcock uses both to position our responses, and to dramatize issues of gender and sexuality that will resonate in our world today.

Golden Age of Television Drama
Charlton Heston once commented that as a young actor, he, along with other young actors, directors, and writers, developed a new art form when they worked in the era of live television drama. In this workshop we will view and discuss classic television dramas which were performed on national television where anything could happen -- and did. We will focus on such plays as Paddy Cheyevsky’s Marty, Rod Serling’s Patterns, Requiem for a Heavyweight and The Comedian, J.P.
