The Moving Image

In this course, which traces Guggenheim’s career, you can witness history as if you were there, and, in addition, come to understanding how film technology evolved along with story-telling telling techniques.  Grace Guggenheim, Charles’ daughter and collaborator, offers insights that will provide a window into film line production, preservation, historical research, copyright and licensing challenges. Washington DC has the richest resources of any city for making documentary films. If you want to know how why and where - this is the class that will expose you to powerful films rarely seen in public.
