THE BRYN MAWR FILM SOCIETY
The Bryn Mawr Film Society seeks to provide a community for film lovers, filmmakers, actors, and writers. We wish to promote film as an individual and communal experience, allowing participants of all backgrounds to be committed to a degree that suits their needs. Our purpose is to support one another in our endeavors, and to act as a resource, making film accessible to all people interested. We meet bimonthly, second and fourth Thursday, at 9-10pm in Taylor E. Our list serv makes it possible to stay connected to one another outside of meetings, and is open for anyone to join and use. http://newmailman.brynmawr.edu/mailman/listinfo/filmsociety
Writing with Film
The pedagogical resources on this site were developed by faculty members Jonathan Kahana and Katherine Rowe, in collaboration with undergraduates Nora Gully, '03, Gretchen Hitt, '03, and Michelle Strizever, '03. This initiative was made possible through the generosity of the Mellon Foundation and a PA Dept. of Ed.Link-to-Learn Higher Education Grant: Improving Technology at Colleges and Universities (ITCU), 2002.
