Institution:

Ithaca College

Subject:

Environmental Studies

Description:

We will explore the underlying environmental issues in five films from a scientific, cultural, ethical, historical, and political perspective. All students will attend two preparatory classroom sessions before the festival begins. Prior to the screening of each film, a course instructor will provide students with background information on one of the specific issues that will be portrayed in the film. After viewing the film, a discussion will be held. During the discussions, emphasis will be placed on how the issue was portrayed in the film. For instance, did the film portray the issue(s) accurately? Was the film sensational or dismissive regarding the gravity of the issue? Students are encouraged to attend all selected films and associated events.
