The Rabbit Hole

This week we referenced quite a bit of academic work. During her analysis, Alex mentioned the article "Driving While Black" which you can give a look right over here.

Dustin's review of the film began with a reference to Global Art Cinema edited by Galt and Schoonover, which you can order from Amazon here.

Arthur talked film grammar and Christian Metz with a specific reference to Film Language: A Semiotics of the Cinema which you can peruse in PDF form over here. He also referenced Alexandre Astruc's essay over Avant Garde cinema "La Camera Stylo" which you can read here.

And finally, if you're sick of Andrew Jackson dominating the Twenty Dollar Bill, then head over to Women on 20s to give your input on which historical female figures you would like to see in cash form.
