This course consists of monthly meetings over the semester. Each meeting will be the projection of a film with soundtracks of special importance. Films are alternated each semester depending on students.

Students will learn how to listen to films and develop new vocabularies to describe the experience in sonic terms. The class gives an open forum to collaboratively discuss the films screened.

3 sessions: October 14th, November 11th and December 9th. 6pm. FAMU Projection room
