Film Appreciation Workshop
What are some ways of sharing what you feel with other people?
Online film appreciation workshop for high school and college students. We will view the film, Young Solitude, about the anxieties and worries of French kids in their second year of high school. Attendees’ understanding of the film will be deepened through discussions of the director’s perspective and technique. We hope to help them discover new ways of appreciating a film.
