Pollard on Film has changed to Thinking Film. A new website is coming soon. Meanwhile see the examples below.
Thinking Film provides
short features that enable people of any background to engage with
philosophical issues raised by the film. It uses clips from the film to
introduce relevant concepts and explore different perspectives.
View a few sample features:
Freedom and Truth
In
this, part one of the two-part feature exploring the human condition,
we are invited to consider the nature of freedom and the place of truth.
Truth and Choice
In this second part of the two-part feature we are invited to consider the value and significance of the choices we make.
In this feature, we are invited to consider human
nature. What, if anything distinguishes us from animals? And what does
it really mean to be human?
Can We Decide What to Believe?
In this feature we are invited to consider the place of logic and
reason, particularly when faced with contradictory truth claims. What is
truth? Can we choose what we want to believe for ourselves?
