IAP 2011 Activity


The Life and Death of John Carpenter: A Film Symposium
Michael Rapa, Rik Eberhardt
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)

As the annual "Life and Death" film symposium enters its second year we set our site on famed director John Carpenter. Through this symposium we will follow John Carpenter as he tackles most cinematic genres, meshes some of them together and even helped to kick-start a new one. From comedy, to horror, to drama, and to camp join us as we follow the directorial life and death of John Carpenter. This series is all about the films. There will be a brief introduction explaining how a particular film fits into the series, but we are mostly here to watch great movies. Candy provided, feel free to bring your dinner with you.
