Emeritus professor Dale Pollock will present a new film appreciation series this Fall, entitled The World of Short Film.
This series of 6 weekly classes examines the incredible range of subjects and styles in past and current short films, many of which are Academy Award nominees and winners. Shorts will be shown from around the world, utilizing subtitles to help audience members understand the dialogue.
Each class features 7 to 10 short films, concluding with a Q&A discussion.
