You will explore the kind of films being made, who made them, and what these films may tell us about the era. Film extracts will include The Long Good Friday, Chariots of Fire, A Room with a View, My Beautiful Laundrette and The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.

Do I need to have any previous skills or knowledge?

This is an introductory course, so no prior knowledge or familiarity with the films we’ll be discussing is required.

Will I be assessed?

There is no formal assessment for courses at Bishopsgate Institute. However, to monitor your learning and progress, tutors will assess your participation in classroom activities.
