The Honors College Faculty Fellows Lecture series comes to a close this fall with a presentation by Lynne Stahl, humanities librarian and assistant University librarian, at 6 p.m. Tuesday (Sept. 20) via Zoom.
Stahl will explore connections between film as an artistic form and the economies of information that structure our social, academic and professional lives.
Stahl will help answer questions like:
What makes a film worth watching?
How do we decide what movies we like and don’t like?
Are the movies we like necessarily “good”?
How do films make meaning?
How do our background knowledge and perceptions affect the meaning we make of films?
She will also discuss how filmmakers combine different elements to create a shot and how all shots in a film work together to produce meaning, as well as the many ways films are shaped by and influence the information economies in which they are created and consumed.
