week 13

In closing the semester I would just like to say that Film 201 was one of the most intriguing art classes I have ever taken. The artistic concepts and films presented in the class were easy for me to relate to. Both the table-top video and intervention paper came to me as a great opportunity for critical thought and creative expansion. Especially, the intervention assignment because I believe it is a fascinating topic that I will continue to explore in filmmaking and in my daily life. I also greatly appreciate all of the screening recommendations that were given in class, particularly James Benning’s One Way Boogie Woogie/27 Years Later which is one of the most beautiful and eye-opening films I have ever and probably will ever see. The class discussions proved to be another attractive facet to me as an artist. It was simply a great feeling to be surrounded by intelligent people who were incredibly insightful and open-minded. I would finally like to thank Sarah Buccheri and Carl Bogner for your knowledge and wonderful insight you have shared throughout the semester.
