I enrolled in the above-named course at Canvas Network after a friend posted the link on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. (Thanks, Christy P.!)
The class started on 6/1/15 and runs through 8/3/15. It’s using TCM’s Summer of Darkness film festival as its main source. I am a cord-cutter and haven’t had cable access in over 5 years, so I don’t get TCM (Turner Classic Movies). The professor has made allowances for that – those without TCM access are directed to specific public domain movies available at the Internet Archive.
However, I do have a Roku, with a host of free channels (including Cafe Noir), and I pay for access to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.
My goal this week will be go through the list of over 100 movies to be shown during the TCM film festival and determine if they are available to me through another service.
I already found the first one – “M” (1931) directed by Fritz Lang. It is available through Hulu. YAY!
So, if you like film noir or want to learn more about it, come join me in the class!
