There are two main learning objectives of the course: 1) The course aims to improve students’ listening comprehension, develop students’ ability to share their opinions in discussions and in response papers. 2) The course enhances a sociological understanding of cinema and the way cinema deals with sociological themes and engages the public in reflection on society. |

Sessions will be held once in two weeks (from 5 pm on Wednesdays 12 Oct, 26 Oct, 9 Nov, 23 Nov, and 7 Dec and 21 Dec.) and will be about an hour longer than the film itself. There will be no class on 17 November, but a film will be available for students to stream. The films will be shown in English with English subtitles. Each session, there will be a short introduction of the film and a pre-watching activity. The screenings will be followed by a discussion with Keith Jones. In case it is neccary to teach online, students will watch the film individually. The films will be mde available. The debate will take place online. Hybrid learning ia not planned.
