Film Club Discussion

WCW_Movie_TheAssistant_V
Please join us for a film discussion with Reid Schultz, an adjunct faculty member at Columbia College with 25 years of experience lecturing on film. We will be discussing the movie The Assistant, written and directed by Kitty Green, which is available on Hulu, Amazon Prime and other streaming services. Participants will watch the movie on their own streaming service in advance of the discussion. Then we will meet on Zoom, where Reid will talk about the director, the film and related topics and lead a discussion on responses to the film. 

The Assistant follows one day in the life of Jane (Julia Garner), a recent college graduate and aspiring film producer, who has recently landed her dream job as a junior assistant to a powerful entertainment mogul. Her day is much like any other assistant’s—making coffee, changing the paper in the copy machine, ordering lunch, arranging travel, taking phone messages, on-boarding a new hire. But as Jane follows her daily routine, she, and we, grow increasingly aware of the abuse that insidiously colors every aspect of her work day, an accumulation of degradations against which Jane decides to take a stand, only to discover the true depth of the system into which she has entered.
