Film in Education: This Worked For Me.

Breen, Myles P.

Several techniques for teaching film appreciation to adults are discussed, including the use of audio cassettes, instructional films, silent films, and film dissection. Included are the techniques, philosophy, and content of a seminar on the short film, in which the short film is viewed as a variant of a short story, a pop song, a joke, and a poem. A course outline showing the films utilized and their running times is appended. (STS)
