**Interesting Articles and Links **


 * Read and comment on any of these in a discussion board... **

 Every week you are expected to hand in a 'Magazine Article Summary and Review' 

 This idea of this project is to allow you to explore many of the diverse aspects of film history and theory - this widening your knowledge base of the subject. If there are particular topics that you really enjoy learning about, these are worth noting down as they may prove to be a good starting point for your Independent Study Assessment task. Enjoy...
