Ticket to school on Turner classic films
How has film been used as a tool to expose injustice and advocate reform? What are the challenges of bringing a literary property to the screen? The new TCM Film School, offered by Evening at Emory and Turner Classic Movies, provides an opportunity for adult students to learn about and discuss the history and artistry of American film.

Award-winning filmmaker and DVD producer Bret Wood will teach the inaugural TCM Film School, offered Tuesdays from July 14 to Aug. 11 from 7–8 p.m.

The course will explore the history and artistry of five American films personally selected by Turner Classic Movies’ on-air host Robert Osbourne, including “Ben-Hur” (1959), “The Letter” (1940), and “I am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang” (1932). Tuition for the course is $195.
