Weddings in the Cinema; or, Hope & Fear Walk Down the Aisle

“If It Moves, It Can Move You”

Opposites in the Cinema

Taught by award-winning filmmaker Ken Kimmelman:

This series shows how the art of the cinema, in its technique and meaning, and in all its diversity—from slapstick to spectacle, cinema verité to the fantastic, tragedy to comedy—is a oneness of the permanent opposites in reality. “All beauty,” Eli Siegel stated, “is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.”

Whenever a film is good or beautiful it is because it puts opposites together—rest and motion, light and dark, space and time, nearness and distance, continuity and discontinuity, unity and variety, freedom and order—the same opposites we are trying to make sense of in our lives!

Wed., June 27, 6-8 pm: Weddings in the Cinema; or, Hope & Fear Walk Down the Aisle!

And

Wed., July 25, 6-8 pm. The Force of Ethics in the Adventure Film
