This course will use the Pollock Theater and its programming as a laboratory for studying contemporary programming and exhibition practices. Topics under consideration will include media distribution and exhibition contexts, constructing programming series and conducting interviews with guests, and the way contemporary tastes are shaped through algorithms and curation practices. Students will have opportunities to gain hands-on experience with camera equipment. Regular attendance at Carsey-Wolf Center events in the Pollock Theater will be required.

CollegeAbsolutely amazing professor. She is kind, caring, knows her topics, and helps you outside the classroom. She incites conversation and debate, participation is key. She grades roughly but gives a lot of feedback to help you understand what she is looking for. Fantastic film choices and she isn't afraid to let the class out super early either.
Petro is one of the greatest professors I've ever had. Her professionalism in her lecture & breadth of knowledge is astounding. Her course was conceptually very challenging, & she doesn't grade easy on reading summaries that can each be worth 10% of your grade. Challenging, but more than worth the work. Definitely have learned an incredible amount.
