BROADWAY COURSES WORKSHOPS TRAINING
INSIDE... COURSES WORKSHOPS TRAINING AT BROADWAY Spring has Sprung and what better way to re-invigorate yourself than with a little more knowledge about the magic of Cinema! Whether your interests lie in the history of cinema, critically engaging with new releases, or learning skills to produce your own films, our courses offer something to suit everyone. For this season we are looking into the paranoiac side of cinema with 5 week courses on Surveillance on Screen and Invasion Narratives in Sci-Fi. The best stories have always relied on tapping into our fears and these two cinematic themes are rich for mining! Another perennial cinematic fear monger is Dracula- whose many lives are studied in another of our courses. Back by Popular Demand are Talk Cinema and Beginning Screenwriting - these courses were so popular they sold out almost instantly, so book early to avoid disappointment! We are also continuing our Aspects of European Cinema strand with a 5 week course on German Expressionism. Due to feedback from participants our taster courses have been expanded from an afternoon, to full day courses to give more time for practical experimentation in Animation, Film Making, and Home Recording - again early booking is essential. We are also offering an 8 week animation course for adults, and a Family Animation Day - where adults and kids can learn and create together.

ASPECTS OF EUROPEAN CINEMA: GERMAN EXPRESSIONISM
TERESA FORDE Thursday evenings 7-8.30pm 5 weeks commencing 15 April £35/£25
SERENA FORMICA Monday evenings 7-8.30pm 5 Weeks Commencing 3 May £35/£25
This course will explore both the ways in which aliens invade earth, including taking over the human body, and the ways in which humans colonise space in Science Fiction film. Beginning with 1950s invasion narratives such as The Day the Earth Stood Still, and versions of War of the War of the Worlds the course will then look at the Terminator and Alien franchises in relation to invasion of body and space. Finally the focus will be on the role of technology in replacing and replicating humans in examples such as the Stepford Wives and Moon.
The five week course explores the works of the main directors of this exciting period of German cinema, including Fritz Lang, Robert Wiene, and F.W. Murnau. The unique style of German Expressionism, characterised by a stylised photography, strong contrasts, a deep chiaroscuro and tales of surreal characters, has been a source of inspiration for later film movements and genres. The course will look at films such as The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, M, Nosferatu and Metropolis, and will explore the legacy of German expressionism in film noir and science fiction.

In The Lives of Others, and Brazil, sinister governments, ruthlessly efficient or hopelessly inept, monitor citizens. In Red Road and A Scanner Darkly, police or private security firms observe. Television audiences consume one man’s everyday life in The Truman Show, while in Caché,the surveiller is yet more mysterious. We will explore how and why filmmakers portray the advantages and disadvantages of surveillance, its psychological impacts, old and new technologies, and intersections with entertainment media. Come along to find out why surveillance is such a compelling theme and to find out who’s watching you...
