Emeritus professor Dale Pollock will present a new film appreciation series this Spring, entitled Dreams as Movies, Movies as Dreams.
This series of 4 weekly classes examines WAKING LIFE, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke; ON BODY AND SOUL, a Hungarian film about a couple who comes together because they share the identical dream; 3 WOMEN, a Robert Altman film starring Sissy Spacek and Shelley Duvall; and DEAD OF NIGHT, a 1946 film about shared dreams.
Each class concludes with a Q&A discussion.
