The Film Appreciation Course 2007 (FA) List of Movies Screened

Schedule

Our day actually started around midnight after the power-nap sometime during the last screening (take a look at the schedule and you would know why we needed that nap). We would begin with "healthy" discussions about the screenings over cups of not-so-hot Café Coffee Day coffees. These would eventually turn into sniggering about fellow film appreciators and generating gossip as we went along our now-healthier-discussion.

Anyway, the day as it was officially planned for us was - A typical day would start at 9.30am with an hour and a half lecture, a half hour tea break followed by another hour and a half lecture. A two hour lunch break at 1pm, at most times would be followed by a two hour lecture. After another early evening half hour tea break there would be a screening at about 5.45pm. The last screening would begin at 9.15pm after a dinner break. Depending on the length of the last movie we would be free to do what we wanted at around 11.15-11.30pm. Typically we would have a few free hours on Saturdays and Sundays were the weekly off.
