I was made an Associate of the British Film Institute many years ago and am the tutor in French Cinema at Morley College Waterloo London. I run French Cinema classes there and at other arts centres in Britain.
What students have said:
A somewhat belated thank you from both my partner and I for the delightful Sunday session that you gave to us recently on Renoir. We were both captivated and, time permitting, shall follow up some of the directions that you opened up to us.
Excellent Historical background
Great mixture of clips and conversation
Have increased my knowledge of French film and French culture
The most enjoyable course I have done in England
Interesting and thought provoking
Previously knowing nothing about the subject I now feel confident to discuss the evolution of French Cinema
Improved my cultural awareness and ability to interpret cinema
Endlessly fascinating
This web site is intended for my students in London and those interested in learning more about the history of French Cinema.
