Thursdays

In this class facilitated by Katie Wackett, participants will embark on a guided tour of summer Blockbuster movies. Each week we will watch a film and discuss its meaning. Each screening will have a special snack to go along with the film. This class is ideal for artists who enjoy watching and sharing their opinions.  

In this class, you will: 

• Watch movies and practice discussing themes and meanings  

• Learn about film history  

• Learn to critique movies, how to form your opinion and connect with other participants  

• Learn about the history of the summer blockbuster film – what makes a movie popular? What can mainstream films teach us? How do these films make us think about our own art/film practices?  

This class is open for anyone over 18 years old, whether they identify as a member of a disability community or not, however the class prioritizes accessibility. Instructions are given in plain language, and the location of the class is wheelchair accessible. Films will be shown with subtitles.
