Greetings!
Grüß Gott!
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with our exciting new German Film Study Series!
Each course includes four films related to the title theme. Select your course from one of two themes  below or register for both. Instructor John LeBlanc introduces the film, including film-related vocabulary, and uses a practiced technique of stopping the film selectively to review what is happening and to call attention to items of interest/cinematic effects that might otherwise go unnoticed. The Third Reich and Resistance

 John LeBlanc
Instructor profileDon't be fooled by John LeBlanc's French surname; he was born in Germany, but developed his unmistakable accent growing up in the southern U.S. His familial ties to Germany have sustained his interest in the country's history and culture, and in particular its film industry. On one particularly memorable trip to Germany, Mr. LeBlanc obtained the autograph of Leni Riefenstahl, the controversial director of the propaganda masterpieces, "Triumph of the Will," and "Olympia."
He has taught German for many years. Believing that cinema reflects a nation's identify, he always makes relevant German historical and cultural films a principal part of the cultural component of his courses. |
