This timely, contemporary course coincides with the wave of new films released for the awards season. The class debates and compiles a ‘Best Films of the Year’ list as guide to discussion about the current state of the cinema. Bafta/Oscar predictions and a weekly “what’s on” make this course as vital as an 18th century coffee house: an important centre for social networking, news, and conversation — plus wonderful films to watch and enjoy.
