| Description: | FRT-101-13: FILM: Documenting Failure. Damon Mohl teaches courses in the Art Department. His primary focus in the classroom involves utilizing interdisciplinary approaches and digital technology to create Art. In this course, we will examine the complex nature of failure through works of literature, radio programs, podcasts and primarily, documented in the medium of film. Thematically, course content will include an eccentric film director who had a nervous breakdown and hid out in a tree house in Australia during his film's production, an amateur British sailor who attempted a solo yacht race around the world and an American "conservationist" who believed he had a personal connection with the grizzly bears in Alaska. Through acts of faulty hubris, heroic visionary creation, and delusional grandeur, we will witness those who have dared to reach for that enigmatic rung beyond their grasp. From the persistent creative upwards struggle to the freefalling metaphorical plummet, we will analyze the negative results, as well as the many positive life-affirming outcomes left in failure's wake. |
