American cinematograph

Within the framework of the “U.S. Art Residence in Dnipropetrovsk” project the Window on America Dnipropetrovsk organized a session for the members of the Gabfest Speaking Club that was dedicated to the American cinematograph.
The highlight of the session was the screening of the video “A timeline of the Cinema”. The group learned a lot of interesting facts about the history of the American movie industry. The new vocabulary introduced in the video facilitates the conversation about the movies. The group got a glimpse of the American business models that created the studio system and movie star systems.
The second part of the session was dedicated to the discourse about favorite American actors and directors. It turned out that the majority of the club members do not idolize movie actors and often do not remember their names as they focus on the narrative as a rule. However, a big group of the male club members named Angelina Jolly as their favorite movie star. The film directors popular among the Gabfest club members are Coppola, Tarantino and Cameron.
The session was educational as it incorporated comparison of the American and European movie models.
Number of participants – 27  persons.
