Fall 2021 - I really enjoyed this class, the films we watched, and the different perspectives for/against auteur theory. I loved learning about Ava DuVernay specifically and her career. The class was mostly screenings of a few films each week, plus a few readings and a weekly discussion. Dr. Bowdre was really kind and intelligent, and I wish we had this class in person rather than over Zoom. The midterms and finals were entirely based on your opinion and you can argue any perspective to the question as long as you back it up. Overall I enjoyed this class and its emphasis on Black independent cinema
