Method: Commented screenings of mainstream, independent and school film samples and their analysis, This demonstrates that classic concepts such as exposition, theme, characters, conflict, crisis, mishap, catastrophe, etc, must not only be a pedantic pigeon-hole for fragements of fossilized narratives but can reflect the immense characteristics of a drama work, its tectonics, organically growing structure, management of time and rhythm but also provides for the basic features of a drama work to consider and communication in reverse but also in the process of creation.
Topic selections: Aristoteles Redivivus, the indestructible canon - genres, mainstream - (ex: Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Juno...), More complex cases or Where we would not expect it - (ex: Fanny and Alexander, Dead Man...). Analyses of interesting school and distributed films from the latest productions. Examples are changed each year.
