New Shoreline Community College online class - Director Series: Light and Shadow: The Films of Josef von Sternberg

Saturday, September 26, 2020

Josef von Sternberg and
Marlene Dietrich


Travel back to Classic Hollywood with facilitator George Watt as you explore the films of Josef von Sternberg! 

Revered and reviled in his own time, Sternberg is notable for a series of films in which he directed Marlene Dietrich and is renowned for his lighting, mise en scene, staging, and costume design.

Sternberg's surviving silent films are remarkable examples of the silent art form, and his gangster film during this period launched the gangster film cycle of the following decade.

Students will view six of Josef von Sternberg's films throughout the class and learn how to evaluate, analyze, and synthesize each film. 

Additionally, students will discuss how the various elements of each film - lighting, camera work, composition, sound, costume, etc. - work together to create meaning and examine cultural influences, including race, ethnicity and gender roles.

Film titles are available on the Internet, via YouTube, or from streaming services, such as Amazon Prime. Some titles are available on DVD from public libraries, from rental services such as Netflix, or may be purchased on DVD or Blu-ray.

Fee: $149
Dates: September 30th - November 4th (Wednesdays)
Time: 6-8 pm
Location: Online via Zoom

This class is taught by Emmett Montgomery, who was voted Seattle Weekly's Best Comedian in 2015, 2017, and 2019. He was also on Last Comic Standing!

Experimental Theatre / Production class to create fictional documentary about life in the time of pandemic

Sunday, September 6, 2020


Shoreline Community College's Experimental Theatre/Production is a class (Drama 234, 207, and/or 208) where we will be creating a fictional documentary based on our experiences (real or imagined) occurring during the time of the Covid pandemic.

It is not just limited to experiences dealing with the pandemic itself, but also any of the historical events taking place — demonstrations for Black Lives Matter, police reform, etc.

The material used can be originally written monologues or scenes, that would be developed, rehearsed and performed by student actors. 

These pieces would be filmed and edited into a documentary. The class would be made up of actors, writers, and those who want to work on the technical end of a production. Bryar Golden will be directing and producing.

Registration open for new class: The African American Experience Through Film

Friday, September 4, 2020

American films are a powerful medium for producing a collective understanding about our country's past, present, and ever-changing values.

Often though, they create a vision of America that fails to capture an honest portrayal of non-white life. 

This online class will examine the counter-narratives of Black filmmakers in the hopes of better understanding how cinema serves as an expression of humanity, and more importantly, a better understanding of the humanity within the African-American community.

Join filmmaker and educator Ben Abel-Bey as you explore fictional narratives, documentaries, and television episodes across multiple themes and genres. 

While some film theory will be discussed, this course is ultimately an examination of American history, society, and culture through the work of filmmakers of color. Films discussed will include Do the Right Thing, The Hate U Give, and more.

Short clips of films and television episodes will be screened and discussed in class, but students are expected to view films outside of class each week as well. Please note that some movie rental fees may apply in addition to the cost of the course.

Fee: $179
Dates: September 28th - November 16th (Mondays)
Time: 6-8 pm
Location: Online via Zoom

Free Course from Yale University “The Science of Well Being”

By Donna Hawkey

Yale University is offering the public a free online course, “The Science of Well Being,” through Coursera. 

The course was first taught at Yale in 2018 by Professor Dr. Laurie Santos. It has been so successful that it is the most popular course in their three-century history. With the COVID-19 virus, the interest in the class has skyrocketed while people try to navigate the many unknowns surrounding the pandemic.

This well-being approach not only informs through science based evidence, it also provides ways to implement this work into your daily life to make changes. It’s a 20-hour course, and there is no required homework, unless you want a certificate of completion.

It seems we should be preparing ourselves for a new “normal” way of life that will emerge from this crisis. Dr. Santos also has a popular podcast “The Happiness Lab,” and currently, she has added topics about dealing with COVID; such as how to help others, to sharing her own personal tips about keeping optimistic during this challenging time.
