After World War II, Italian neorealist cinema revolutionized film making by presenting gritty, realist portraits of everyday life among the poor and working class. But like many genres of the era, the catalog is male-dominated — and perhaps unsurprisingly, the children at the center of these postwar tales of poverty and social critique are also boys. Although the child’s vantage is central to much of this cinema, we will focus instead on the viewpoint of women. This 3-week course will consider three wildly canonical works situated within the genre of neorealism: Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves (1948), a firmly neorealist film, as well as Luis Buñuel's Los Olvidados (1950) and Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali (1955),— two films that are heavy in neorealist tendencies, but also diverge from it in quite explicit ways.
We will watch the films together as a class. Accompanying readings on film criticism and critical theory will be offered to guide the post-film discussion, though they are not required.

The Fine Print:
Gift certificates may only be redeemed at the full tuition tier.
SLIDING SCALE TUITION
Full tuition is the cost per-student of running the class. If you choose a tier below full tuition, you are receiving a discount. If you choose to make a donation in addition to full tuition, you are helping to cover the cost for students who are not able to pay the full amount.
The mid-level tier is a discounted rate for people whose household income is at or above living wage but who have limited discretionary income.
The low-level tier and the full-scholarship tier are for people whose household income is below living wage or who need extra assistance to meet their needs.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Through our fundraising efforts, we are able to offer three full scholarships per class. The full-scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering. Each student may only take one full-scholarship class at a time. Because our scholarship funding is limited, if a student selects multiple overlapping classes at the full-scholarship level, they will be disenrolled from all classes.
All sliding-scale and scholarship needs are self-assessed, and we will never request or require proof of need.
Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans, refund policy, and sick and inclement weather policy.
