    Weekend
    Course start date:  Sun 5 Oct 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Jon Wisbey
    Hitchcock's The Birds (1963), sees the director exploring a familiar theme: the 'romantic couple' tested by suspenseful events. But unlike his glossy 1950s hits, Hitchcock opts for muted visuals and performances in an unflinching examination of femininity under threat and masculine cruelty, framed by a dystopian revenge of nature narrative. Explore the master's last great film, scene by scene.

  7. Angela Carter: ‘A Different Kind of Human Being’ -
    Evening
    Course start date:  Wed 8 Oct 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Fiona McCulloch
    This course will introduce and discuss the fiction of renowned author, Angela Carter, specifically focusing upon one novel and one short story. Carter wanted her writing to ‘demythologise the fictions that regulate our lives’, to explore how society narrates us into being and holds us there. In doing so, she offers us a chance to read and, ultimately, release ourselves through her work, as we come to understand the relationship between fiction and reality. For Carter, both of these – fiction and reality – are two sides of the same coin.
