About this course

Core Renewal: Enduring Questions For Freshmen Only Coming of age, whether in moments of conflict or peace, remains a central theme in both classic and contemporary films. Film adaptation offers opportunities to study issues confronted from early to late adolescence that affect our adult lives. Viewing moments of crisis and calm through the medium of film has aesthetic value and promotes increased visual and cultural literacy. The films serve as foundational texts, as students engage in understanding the complexities of adapting a singular account of adolescence from printed word to the screen so as to reveal the relevance for our own lives.
