Iran Through the Lens of Cinema
Lifelong Learning

Films have long been considered a window through which we view different cultures. Their ability to entertain and teach without being esoteric gives us a more engaging study of language, society, and values. This approach is particularly helpful for a country like Iran, which is often presented through false and sensationalist imagery. Join us for this entertaining and enlightening class where we'll examine the culture and imagery of Iran through the lens of its cinema. Students will watch short clips, analyze them in class, and have access to full-length films outside of class to discuss the following week.
