Global Hotspots Through Foreign Film
Register for this Spring 2024 course on the new NYU SPS Academy of Lifelong Learning
website.
Seeing is believing, and foreign films give us the experience of traveling beyond borders without a plane ticket. The journey begins with the screening of eight award-winning foreign films from countries that examine global hotspots in conflict. These award-winning, powerful films serve as a catalyst for our post-screening discussions about foreign film, as well as present-day issues in the film’s geopolitical region and how the film reflects different cultures and global issues. We will watch the films together as a group and have an in-person discussion afterwards. The course may include a visit to a Mission of the United Nations (to be confirmed. Past visits include the Permanent Missions of Italy and Colombia). Spring 2024 tuition is $999.
