Film Studies Online

cameraI have always wanted to opportunity to study cinema formally at school. However the trajectory of my more modest work life has not allowed me to pursue this study.

Here is a resource that I am starting to use – open universities. By open I mean there are no applications, no enrollment fees, etc. Many of the top academic institutions have these resources available. A simple search of free online courses, will amaze you.

So now there is no excuse, the resources are out there for you to engage in self-paced learning …

 

Happy studying!

Clute and Edwards

film reelI am a huge fan of film noir in search of a podcast that discussed many of my favorite films. A few years ago I stumbled upon a podcast (Clute and Edwards – Out of the Past: Investigating Film Noir). The two professors offer a great academic exercise in looking at the genre. I my not always pick up or agree with some of their more refined points, but I highly value the perspective they offer to those of us who like to independently study films.

Based on the archives, it seems that they have taken a little of a break, but according to their website, we have their assurances that they will start regularly podcasting again.

What makes the study of film noir so fascinating and as I have mentioned in my film review of Where the Sidewalk Ends, a central element to discussing a film which is classified as a film noir, is how we define the genre itself.

I recommend that everyone who loves film, take a moment to explore this genre a little more. As a primer, take a look at the following sites:

  • Wikipedia Entry
  • FilmNoir.com
  • UC Berkeley Film Noir Texts and Resources
