Don’t miss the final UCLA seminar from beloved Professor Howard Suber!

Students, alumni and fans from all over the world now have the chance to join Howard online for a live Q&A and lecture weekend as he expands on all six episodes of his Turner Classic Movies/HBO MAX series The Power of Film

THE POWER OF FILM is about the inner workings of America’s most popular and memorable films. It’s hosted by legendary UCLA Film School Professor Emeritus Howard Suber, Ph.D., whose insights are interwoven with dramatic clips from an incredible array of powerful and beloved movies from the last century through today. For over fifty years, Professor Suber taught directors, screenwriters, producers, and scholars the defining principles and hidden patterns of great films.

THE POWER OF FILM distills these teachings into six episodes with clarity, humor, and an understanding of the history of storytelling from Aristotle to Shakespeare to Coppola and beyond. Neither a technical analysis nor a review, this series reveals the psychological underpinnings of why certain films affect viewers so deeply and can impact viewers for generations beyond their release. Using dramatic film scenes, Suber uncovers mysteries, dispels myths, and explains powerful themes that have impacted us for millennia.

Though THE POWER OF FILM is about movies, it’s really about ourselves. By examining the psyche of the audience, Suber ultimately inspires us— as the heroes of our own stories— to realize that we can seize our own destinies, “that we CAN change our world.”

Enrollment Deadline:
