Frame by Frame: Exploring Film Through Horror
Discover what lies beneath the surface of fear in this spine-chilling exploration of the horror genre. Each week focuses on a different subgenre: the biting elevated horror and social commentary of Get Out, the groundbreaking DIY aesthetic of found footage in The Blair Witch Project, the aesthetics of slasher classics and auteur cinema in Psycho, and the eerie nostalgia of analog horror in the double feature of The Backrooms (Found Footage) and I Saw the TV Glow. Through screenings and discussions, students will unravel how horror reflects societal anxieties while pushing the boundaries of cinematic storytelling.
CampDoc
We are excited to partner with CampDoc, a third party program we will be using to collect and consolidate student registration information in order to streamline the registration process, and enhance the parent and guardian experience while your child is participating in our program(s). CampDoc will give parents and guardians full access to their own participant portal which they can log into at any time to view course details and information, and previously submitted documents.
Once a course has been purchased on the JBFC website, an email from CampDoc will follow within a few days with instructions on how to create a CampDoc account (if you do not have one already) and submit additional required registration information, such as an updated immunization record, a list of allergies, names of individuals who are authorized to pick your child up, doctor and insurance information, etc., and the deadlines by which this information must be received. We look forward to seeing your child this year.
