Course Description

Instructor: Robin Bernat

Join fellow filmmakers and cineastes as we explore some of most compelling and unusual love stories in cinema history.

Local experimental filmmaker, Robin Bernat, whose works have been exhibited locally and nationally including the Whitney Museum of American Art, will facilitate
the discussion. Participants will screen the films on their own-- and join in the online class for engaging and lively conversation about each film, its director, time-period, and thematic concerns.

Movies are available online, some for a small fee, others free.
