I am always looking for more techniques to teach participatory film viewing--as opposed to passive "entertain-me" viewing--for the next edition of my book "Creative Encounters with French Films" (Lewiston, N.Y.: Mellen Research Univ. Press, 1993) which already contains a lot of exercises that get the student to use the techniques films use to obtain active participation in the film's creation. Does anyone else use such an approach to teaching film? and what exercises do you do in and out of class?
