This course is for people who like indie films, value personal growth, and wish to learn and challenge their thinking. Each week the class will cover 1-2 movies that are assigned for home viewing and discussion in class, selected to demonstrate specific psychological themes, techniques, and topics such as mindfulness, fear, love, trauma, perfectionism, or empathy. The instructor will show clips and provide open-ended questions for discussion in class. Assignments for home viewing will prioritize Netflix, AmazonPrime, and free films. Examples of anticipated films include Perfect Days (2023), Pig (2021), Sing Sing (2024), or Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). Class will include group work, using film clips and media as inspiration. Note: No class on March 18; course extends 1 week. Limit 24.
