In a continuation of this off-campus venture, this course will feature four of the finest new international and North American independent releases. Drawn from Celebration! Cinema’s exceptional “Indie Film Series,” the course includes the best of the new films playing in New York or Los Angeles. Following each film, we will have 30 minutes of discussion and insights led by Roy Anker and others like Jim Bratt, Jennifer Holberg, Eric Kuiper, and Carl Plantinga. The films will be finalized closer to the start date of the course and shared with participants at that time. Class registrants’ names will be checked off a roster at the theater on the day of each film.??
