The assignment: pick a film, television series, etc. using Baldwin’s lens from #TheDevilFindsWork and evaluate it. The groups were on #AtlantaFX #Moonlight and #PoseFX - all excellent reports making me think I might have been doing something right. #LitStudies #literature #FilmStudies #AcademicMastodon @litstudies

Directed by #SidneyPoitier and starring him and #HarryBelafonte , it is a brilliant deconstruction of the #western - it takes about 20 minutes to get off the ground, but once it does, damn. It is a critique of the genre similar to the one #JamesBaldwin posits in #TheDevilFindsWork - #westerns #cinemastudies #LitStudies #filmstudies @litstudies
