Movie Madness University at PSU Presents "M. Night Shyamalan: The Filmmaker of the 21st Century"

Discussion of M. Night Shyamalan is so often limited to the unique trajectory of his career, but what about the content of the films themselves? From the turn of the century onwards, Shyamalan has consistently crafted brilliant and unique films that deliberately reflect the cultural moments they've come out of.

What can be gleaned about Hollywood filmmaking, American politics, and existential schools of thought from this distinct body of work? There's only one way to find out... Whether you're a skeptic looking to understand or a fan looking to reflect, join us for a deep dive on the last 25(ish) years of films from M. Night Shyamalan!

This 2-hour deep dive will be taught by Dani Wilder, a Texas-raised, Portland-based film director, teacher, and playwright who specializes in queer representation and horror filmmaking.

Class will be held in room LH115 in Lincoln Hall, at 1620 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97201 on the Portland State University Campus.
