Thanks to all who have replied so far! Great suggestions, really! Some more clogging the mail boxes - apologies for the squeak; I should have posted this together with the first CFH, maybe... Fact file: I could possibly ensure the videorooms -only 2 - (hosting either 15 people on headphones-cum-vodeo), or up to 50 on small-size video-wall for up to 3 hours a week; so that sets the limit. Last year I experimented with sort of a free-attendance screenings which, unexpectedly, attracted 100+ (against my pessimistic estimate of 10-15) students crammed in a room. They said they came for the discussions afterwards, not so much to see the films, which can also be rented individually at the BritCouncil library. The response is extremely encouraging, but the resources are scanty. I don't know what would be the best way to optimise? Re: two titles on the list that (may) have raised eyebrows: "The Piano" has been suggested by a British colleague who promised to do the presentation herself; "The Full Monty" has been offered on the argument "you can't understand Britain without Monty". As we haven't got it in the centre, I still have no personal opinion on that; deconstructing myths in the Irish "Crying Game" The *aim* is to provide a variety of viewpoints on a variety of issues; that is, the "group screening" should be the "departure points", including titles which set an issue, and, in case anyone is interested, they could go on and watch - individually - other films dealing with this topic; or, horizontally, explore the same director's work on other topics. My task is to keep the flame burning, but, i am not sure i can and know how to do it right. And, yes, I am panicking. So all your help is really, really, great! Another consideration is that some students just cannot afford to use the library facilities... The topics covered in the "theoretical" part of the module that have relevance to(but, ideally, should not limit) the selection of titles are: * Working class culture and subculture * Regional variations and identities: "drawing cultural maps" * The feminist perspective * Approaching the study of subcultures * Youth subcultures and styles * Thatcherism amd its influence upon cultural developments in the 1980s ( is it too early to talk about Blairism?) * American and Australian perspectives (by the touchline: "Brave Heart" as a puzzle profitting on Scottishness, starring an Australian-born American shot in Irish scapes?) * BalkanWood? This is by no means a specialised film studies programme (unfortunately); it's been conceived as supplementary to a mainly theoretical course :-((( Thanks again!
