Cinema attracts me because it connects all kinds of art and creates space for analysis and perception. In my lectures, I try to show how history, culture and the socio-political situation set new meanings and possible interpretations of films. I like to dive into the cinema, uncover the double bottom and understand not "what the author wanted to say", but what the film says about the viewer, his personality. And that's what I teach the others. My goal is to give people tools that will help them unravel meanings, read mysterious symbols and get even more pleasure from watching, comprehending and discussing films.
We talk about everything using memes and jokes. Just like that young teacher who knows how to open the window in time. We combine the incongruous: the psychology of Ranetok and the philosophy of Kant, the history of toilets and the secrets of great artists, the characters of the romance club and the chronology of the Great Depression. We’ll even look at fan fiction and all the pitfalls of mortgages! And all so that you can pass exams both at the university and in real life. Our main goal is to help you take your mind off your anxiety and get your dopamine hit from great content. And life hacks and recipes from the series «How to live this life?» — bonus.
