Genre + Discussion of Oscar Winning Films
Debbie Daniels opened the evening with a PowerPoint presentation on genre. She explained what is meant by the term ‘genre’ and then looked at what we expect to see in films of various different genres.

Julian Austwick led a discussion about three Oscar winning films: La La Land, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Roma.
He had prepared a little film by way of introduction – it included himself playing the roles of some of the people in the various films…
