NEW Soviet Cinema Course

Beginning August 2026

When I wrote Fear Before the Fall, I really wanted to treat the introduction of Horror films into the Soviet cannon as a product of larger socio-cultural changes. The truth is that all Soviet films reflect their time and place in important ways, and Soviet directors remain some of the most innovative in terms of technique, style, narrative, plot, and set design.

This class will meet for 5 weeks and there will be roughly two films per week. You can watch one or both of them to keep up.

Information on enrolling is in the poster attached here. Once you send payment (include your email) I will send you the syllabus with the schedule and all the necessary links. Closer to the end of August we will decide as a class when to meet (day and time).

Hope to see you in there!
