The FIRST Media Session takes place on Nov. 2, 2022 at 8 p.m. sharp.

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:

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 and afterwards discuss American classics as well as classics inspired by America.

Inhalt:

This semester we will focus on movie classics and some lesser known cinematic masterpieces from the U.S. with colors in their title. Against the backdrop of multiple movie genres (e.g. comedy, drama, satire, horror, and animation) we will investigate how those movies utilize or play with the meaning of their eponymous color, often in order to address crucial issues in US-American history and culture.
