Paper & Film assignments: BL, Gender, Influence

Mid term paper or Mid term film "treatment" due Nov 4. details will be on portal.
Topic: body language (BL) or gender & BL - as used in a film (film you see or film you plan to create).  You may go deep into the film & topic or broad and shallow across the film & topic.
The Final paper or completed film due on final day, Dec. 9.  The Final will cover Influence - the 3rd theme of the class.   Again, you may go broad and shallow or deep into the movie and theme.  The way you approach influence is best informed by your knowledge of BL and Gender.
THEMES:  If you wish to use a different theme, e.g., fears a la Otto Rank or community support to live to be 100, the power plays or social relations you observe in our class itself - or some other theme we touch upon, just ask.
MOVIES:  So far the movies in play are "No Country ..."  "The Professional" ... "Rules of Attraction ..."  and I'll list some more on the portal.  You may suggest a film to me at any time, for I just want to be sure I have seen it recently.
