THE ELEMENTS OF SCREEN

Tuesday, November 3, 10, & 17
1:30 - 3:30 pm
Course Topic: Culture, Arts, & Music
Description: The course will provide an in-depth
look into how films create meaning by examining
all the components of film language and how
these parts come together to produce the total
film experience. We will examine the visual and
sound elements, which are tools for the creation
of narrative and meaning in movies, through the
viewing of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 film “Vertigo.”
The ultimate goal of the course is to create
a deeper level of understanding of cinematic
grammar and visual literacy—to help participants
to “see,” not just watch films.

“Dying is an integral part of life, as natural and
predictable as being born.” Learn from two
experienced clergy and end-of-life doulas whose
calling is to accompany people in the late stages
of life. Hear stories that can inform end-of-life
planning for you or a loved one. Learn about
creating your legacy, making the most out of
relationships, preparing for your death, and
envisioning your memorial service. Discover
the joy, freedom, and meaning that come from
planning and preparing for the end of your life.
Your family and friends will also thank you for
