Seven week horror film history and theory workshop now being offered virtually through Canada’s Sheridan College
Sheridan College will be offering horror film director (QUEEN OF BLOOD, NECROPOLIS: LEGION), writer and magazine editor (FANGORIA, DELIRIUM) Chris Alexander’s FEAR ON FILM workshop as part of their Spring 2022 continuing education program.
FEAR ON FILM is a virtual 7 week course that will give learners a deeper understanding of the history of the horror genre and its impact on world cinema and culture through lectures, group discussions and special presentations.
From the pioneering days of the motion picture to the light, shadow and moral ambiguity of the German expressionist movement; from the global impact of the early Universal monster pictures of the 1930s to the allegorical science fiction horrors of the 1950s; from the landmark, boundary-pushing works of the 1970s to the 1980s slasher movie boom and beyond. FEAR ON FILM will encourage learners to examine changing trends in genre storytelling and technology and how societal unrest is very often consciously or unconsciously reflected in the movies themselves.
Previously offered by Sheridan College as an in-person course, FEAR ON FILM‘s new virtual incarnation means that anyone, anywhere can enroll in the workshop. FEAR ON FILM is an ideal entry point for cinema lovers seeking a deeper exploration of the horror genre, as well as a fantastic platform for more seasoned horror movie fans to connect with others through an instructor who has worked with some of the biggest names in the genre.
