  • Film 290: Topics in Digital Cinema: Blade Runner: Summer 2 

    Film 290: Topics in Digital Cinema: Robert Steel

    We have added the Topics class on Blade Runner for the Spring. It can sub for some major classes.
    In 1982, there was a distinct aesthetic shift with the release of Blade Runner. It didn't look or feel like any other film released at that time. Ahead of its time, it was a failure. Time caught up and it is now a classic, considered one of the great films of all time. In DC 270, we cover the films that influenced Blade Runner and the films that were influenced by Blade Runner. Blade Runner 2049 will also part of the course. All assignments are creative responses to the films we view. 
    Please let me know if you have any questions or need any assistance.
    Cheers,
    Rob
