I’ve been away for some time but that’s because I’ve been working on something pretty amazing. Dr. Carl Sweeney and I have launched a new venture called The CineHistorians Podcast.
What is The CineHistorians Podcast? I’m so glad you asked.
The CineHistorians podcast explores the history of cinema from across the globe. Hosted by Dr. Carl Sweeney and Raquel Stecher, each season of the podcast focuses on a particular theme. This includes everything from film movements, to genres and styles, to groups of filmmakers and more. Each episode examines one film in particular related to that season’s theme. We break down the history of the film, why it’s important and examine its impact over time.
Here is a video introduction to the podcast:
For the first season we’re looking at new waves. This includes the French New Wave, the British New Wave/Kitchen Sink Realism, the Australian Film Revival, New Iranian Cinema, the Greek Weird Wave and New Hollywood.
We have both audio and video versions of the podcast. The audio version is available on Apple, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts. The video version of the podcast is available on YouTube.
The first two episodes are on the French New Wave and focus on the movies Breathless (1960) directed by Jean-Luc Godard and Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962) directed by Agnes Varda.
I hope you’ll check these out and watch for future episodes!
