The journal I have chose to follow for the semester is Film Philosophy, found at http://www.film-philosophy.com/. I have choosen it because I enjoy readings on film theory, and discussions on theme and motif. This particular site offers a lot of critical writing on science fiction films, which is a favorite genre of mine that can be difficult to find taken seriously. I also think that it will be interesting to see how the experimental material we discuss in class will compare to the themes discussed in this journal.
My field report will be done on The Golden Age of Fish, and will be posted once I have seen that film.

Amanda -
Interesting choice. And a most helpful, thorough explanation.
Can I ask: : you didn't happen to see the Philosophy Dept.'s presentation of "The Man Who Wasn't There," did you?
I'll be interested in reading your posts, reading the connections between film and philosophy and your takes on them. Wondering: do you think only narrative film fosters philosophical discussion? Can something non-narrative, dare I say it, experimental also be related to philosophy? Also - what do you think is the difference between film theory & philosophy?
All to say - I look forward to your posts.Be sure to check out the D2L site for guidelines for the next round of blogs, which are due BY October 29.
