Week 12-13 Into 2020!~WINTER VACATION 12/28-1/7





Week 12Dec 27th
Screening: The Silence of the Lambs, 1991, Dir. Jonathan Demme


TRIGGER WARNING ON IN-CLASS SCREENINGS:

All IN-CLASS SCREENINGS are mandatory (=attendance would be strictly taken). All selected films are masterpieces in their own ways, and for research and teaching purposes, also based on the tenet of freedom of expression, the process of selection is not, and should not be subjected to criteria applied to regular theatrical screenings. NEVERTHELESS, first make sure that you have reached the age for watching some of the listed films. Some titles may contain potentially violent, sex, blood, and similarly ‘discomforting’ contents—check imdb.com to read the plot BEFOREHAND, and you should consult with your teacher if you have problem attending the screening due to the film’s content. You could quit the classroom during the screening, if you find the content disturbing. Make-up work should be done based on mutual-understanding and communication.
