5-week course £68.00
The City of Love, the City of Light — Paris has long cast its spell on filmmakers. From winding Montmartre streets to grand boulevards and riverside cafés, the city offers more than a backdrop: it becomes a character in its own right.
This course explores how directors use place to shape story and emotion. We’ll look at:
-
How Paris influences characters’ choices and relationships
-
The moods and meanings that different neighbourhoods evoke
-
How locations create opportunities for encounters, drama and discovery
-
The way a city can reflect themes of romance, identity, memory and transformation
By examining a selection of films, you’ll see how Paris doesn't simply host the action — it breathes life into it, setting tone, guiding emotion, and enriching the cinematic experience.
Paris in spring is the perfect setting — on screen and in the imagination.
