Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

Today, action movies, comedies, and superhero movies are everywhere. However, we often forget the effort put in by legends and the uncertainty of its early years. In this hour-long lecture, we will explore movies from the earliest days of film, the fight to keep the medium alive, and the legendary actors who fought for the future of their industry. We will also look at trends that seem to prove this philosophy is not entirely gone in our modern age. This will include clips from Casablanca, noir films like Maltese Falcon, read stories that highlight some of our greatest filmmakers’ struggles and successes, and we will look at the stories that embody the mission of film’s earliest filmmakers
