Join us for a friendly online taster lecture to support your current studies and find out what it might be like to study film at university.
Session time: Wednesday 22 March, 15.45-16.35
In this live and interactive Film Society, Dr Nicholas Grant, Associate Professor of United States History in the School of Art, Media and American Studies at UEA, will discuss/debate Do The Right Thing by Spike Lee.
This session will focus on the historical and political context that shaped the production of and reaction to Spike Lee’s ‘Do The Right Thing’. We will discuss important themes relating to race, identity, police violence and gentrification in the United States. As well as examining the way in which Spike Lee addresses the politics of Black protest through the film.
We invite the audience to shape the discussion with presubmitted and live questions and thoughts relating to key themes of the film.
Expect a lively and dynamic session in which you will hear a wide range of different perspectives and insights and feel secure to contribute your own.
Suitable for: Year 12 & 13 students (and equivalent) studying, or with a more general interest in, Do The Right Thing. In addition, students with a possible interest in a degree in Film Studies and related disciplines will gain an understanding of how films are discussed in tutorials. Student groups, and individual students and teachers are very welcome to join us.
