Collin Film Series – “The Right Stuff” – Nov 16-20

Collin College Auteur Film Series

    presents a free screening of 

            The Right Stuff

Online discussion takes place Nov. 16-20, 2020

(PG, 1983, dir. Philip Kaufman, 193 minutes)

Story of a group of top military pilots, seven of whom become the first American astronauts.

All films in this year’s series are free to students, faculty, and staff to stream individually at any time via the Collin College libraries. Some material may not be suitable for all audiences. For each film, there will be an online discussion forum featuring faculty panelists.

Links to stream the films and forums for the online discussions are available within a college-wide Canvas “course” created for the film series. Use this LINK, then simply click the “Enroll” button that appears to gain access to the course. The course will be placed on your Canvas Dashboard,  where it will remain available throughout the academic year. (Note: If you’ve already followed the “Enroll” procedure for an earlier film, you don’t need to do it again. The “course” for the Film Series should still be on your Canvas Dashboard.)

You can receive up to 10 points of extra credit for posting a comment or a question in any of the discussion threads located in the Online Discussion for the film. You can receive up to an additional 10 points of extra credit for submitting a report on the film within one week of the conclusion of the discussion period, using either of the report forms below.

(NOTE:  If you post a comment or a question in one or more of the discussions, but choose not to submit a report, you must send me a message through Canvas Inbox, within one week of the conclusion of the discussion period, telling me which discussion or discussions you participated in.)

Report Forms

(One report form below is an MS Word file you can download, fill in, and return to me as an attachment using Canvas Inbox. The other form is a PDF file, which you can print out, fill in, scan or photograph, and then send as an attachment using Canvas Inbox. If neither of those options work for you,  simply send a message through Canvas Inbox with the questions from the form and your responses.)
