High School Film Class for Beekman Students
This course surveys the history of films from around the world from 1895 to the present. We study films and genres that are deemed important in film's history and progression. Many of the films that we view in this class have influenced the films that we see today. Many of these films also deal primarily with the human condition and the state of the world during the periods in which they were made. The films viewed are for enlightenment, educative purposes, and serve as a window to the past. The 20th century is the only century to have a complete history of our various cultures immortalized in moving images.
