Film Panel Description

Everyone will be choosing a film panel to participate on. It involves choosing an element of the three or four basic areas of a film or the director’s work: biography (their lives), filmography (their films), production, distribution of the film, critical reception (reviews) or something related to the food in the film.

Info for films is available either through books (highest points--ACPL has a strong film collection), magazine articles (equally high points--see Ebsco search) or Internet (this will likely be less useful for many of the films—fewer points). For contemporary reviews see rottentomatoes.com site; for information about the production (how it was made) and distribution (how it came to the public), see books, film magazines, and newspaper articles (high points).
These aspects are not the only possible topics for a paper. You may have other questions you want to pursue about particular actors, other food-related items. Don’t hesitate to do so. Coordinate the various sections with the various presenters.

Basically, you're trying to find points of interest to start us thinking about the film and to intrigue us.

Post your presentation to the blog BEFORE you present it to the class, especially any visuals (which can then be shown during your presentation. Be sure to tailor your posting to this format. In other words, you won't just plunk a chunk of text here, but some manageable portion with some links for further information and pertinent visuals.
