- Inhalt
- The Media Session is designed as an extension of those classes of the American Studies Section that work with movies. However, we encourage all students to attend the movie sessions, because we show American classics as well as classics inspired by America.
This semester we will focus on movies that are weird and wondrous and movies about the weird and wondrous. This includes (but is not limited to!) magical creatures, plots that embrace the bizarre, and characters that are as unforgettable as they are entertaining.
For the first time, we will focus primarily on movies from only one decade, namely the 1980s - an era of legendary fantasy films (many of which have now become cult classics). This will give us a chance to observe and discuss the development of the idea of what exactly is 'weird' against the backdrop of multiple movie genres (e.g. comedy, drama, satire, horror, and animation), as well as distinct changes in US-American culture over the course of 'only' ten years.
Additionally and as a special treat, we will host an all-night-long-film-marathon just before Christmas. This time we'll watch all the Lord of the Rings movies - extended editions, of course. Make sure to sign up on NEAS (VC course "News in English and American Studies") to receive the exact schedule in the beginning of the semester!
