    Course start date:  Sat 14 Jun 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Ann-Marie Fleming
    After the release of Spielberg’s Jaws, Hollywood was transformed once again. In the age of



    the blockbuster, stars again found a new type of fame and arguably became one of the key



    points of interest for the movie-going audience. However, as blockbusters grew, so did



    independent American cinema. The indie stars represented a very different version of



    stardom, and in particular, drew attention to the appreciation of an actor’s performance.
