And Action!

Cue music.  Quiet, please.  Places!  And 'Action!'

I teach a class at Main Line School Night in Radnor, PA, called "Artists on Film."  It's a series, meaning that it is offered each semester, with all new films each time.   This fall it starts Thursday, September 22, 2011, and runs through November 3, with September 29 off for the high holidays.

It's a blast to teach, and I keep getting repeat customers, so it must be fun to watch, too.  I show the best movies I can find on all matters Art.  I take special pride in surprising my students with unexpected subjects and thought-provoking content (Students? Really? This class is so much fun I feel more like a hostess than a teacher).

I have two criteria:  the movie must illuminate something artistic, by its subject, cinematography, themes, or vision; and it must be a damned good movie in its own right.  You'd be surprised how many there are.

I never give away the movies for the current semester, so don't bother asking.  I hate to reveal my secrets, but just as a teaser I will say that prior student favorites include Rivers and Tides, directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer, and Helvetica, directed by Gary Hustwit.  If you have not seen these movies, find a way.  I plan to offer "Artists on Film: Greatest Hits," a kind of retrospective of the best of the best someday, so you can also wait and watch them with me then. 

The class is filling fast; as of this writing there were only four spots left.  For more information, you can go to the Main Line School Night website: http://mainlineschoolnight.org/CourseStatus.awp?&course=11FAA41001
I hope to see you in class.
