Screening
Options
Each week there will be
different reaction questions posted to the blog to consider when watching the
film. Please take some time and research the different films to find one that
best suits your interests.
Always opt for a film
that you haven’t seen over one that you have. You can always pitch me a film
you’d like to watch if you think it’s relevant to that week’s discussion.
