Program Details

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Errol Morris, documentary filmmaker, said "Photographs can reveal something to us, and they can also conceal things." Today, we are bombarded by news, some true, some fake. "The truth is out there" promises the X-files. Can we find that truth in documentary films? Watch extraordinary films that will challenge your sense of right and wrong. Learn how to read them, so you can decide what is real and what is false. During the course we may see five or more of the following films: Newsreel Collective Films, Harvest of Shame, Black Panthers, Primary, High School, Shirley Chisholm '72: Bought and Unsold, Shirley Clark's Portrait of Jason or Ornette, Made in America, The Thin Blue Line, and Weiner.

COURSE LEADERS
Judith Zinis taught film studies at Ocean County College more than twenty years. As a Princeton University fellow, she explored developing community college film programs. She continued her work in film as a Fulbright Scholar, teaching at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece.
