Hollyweird: Old Oddities & New Nightmares

Hollyweird: Old Oddities & New Nightmares Of La La Land

Enter the dark underbelly of L.A. where we peel away the veneer of the ‘American Dream’. Not just an exploration of Hollywood oddities but also a look at American independent filmmakers who have often defied the conventions of filmmaking, providing a unique reflection on what lurks beneath the surface… and behind the lens. From Tod Browning’s Freaks to the influence of Roger Corman, the Satanic panic of the 1970s to David Lynch's strange observations, this course will explore the more subversive and transgressive modes of American storytelling.
