Want to Learn Film in 40 Days Under Quarantine? Film historian Mark Cousins has the virtual course for you with this free informative, extended visual essay-style lecture.

Dive deep into the style and content of film, with short segments divided up covering everything from color, eyeline, focus, depth, and tension, to wedding films, endings, something called “lesbos refugee camp,” “avoid banalities,” “show what hasn’t been shown before,” and even a few days off sprinkled in between.

Our Cinema Curator Mark Cosgrove says:

"Mark Cousins is one of the great irrepressible communicators about film. His response to social distancing/isolation? Produce this engaging, informative, passionate, insightful 40 day course in film studies, naturally."
