Film director game type thing

[Hammer Michael]

Do you teach film then?

I have to admit, I'm just as guilty of the above. When I was at uni, I had a film lecturer who specialised in European Cinema (especially in that post-WWII era)... and one of the first things we learnt from his senior students was to pick essay topics as far away from that as we could. Quite a bit of students went for the anime-directors route... I personally chose the "obscure female directors from developing nations and specialising in feminist texts" route

Yes I do teach film...and media for that matter. Two 'soft subjects' in one...like money for old rope!

The student who went for Ghibli didn't, in the end, do a very good job. He just gave extended reviews of certain films without critiquing them or comparing them to other forms of animation. Not that I could tell, but a good friend of mine knows a hell of a lot more and marked it for me!. Then had the pleasure of giving the student a 2:2 and telling him why...poor sod was so gutted he didn't even ask me why I had marked him so low, which is just as well as I couldn't have answered him. But better that he got an honest grade than me be impressed by his 'knowledge' and mark him higher than he deserved.

How did your post-feminist female directors from developing nations grade come out anyway? Did you get away with it?

The poor sod!!! And well, as a matter of fact, I did get a good grade on that paper Cos' even if I was trying to pull a fast one, I was interested enough in the topic to write about it properly (and also, I cheated cos' I covered a very similar topic in my gender class and knew what I was going on about).
