Everyone has a tale to tell. How to tell it can be a mystery. In this class we'll explore writing memoir, incorporating elements of fiction: description, dialogue, plot, etc. Participants will explore the emotional truths that live in their memories, and focus on ways to bring their stories to life. Please bring writing materials with you to class.

This film course will take us on an exploration of perceived human difference. Whether Inuit, Japanese, French, Italian, or Dutch, respective nationalities, languages, and social positions create socio-cultural barriers broken by circumstance. We will view: "Qallunaat! Why White People Are Funny" (2007), "Hospitalité" (2010), "Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au bon dieu?" (2014), "Io Sono Li" (2011), and "Antonia's Line" (1995). Themes present in each film will be discussed and applied to contemporary perceptions of difference.
