Film+As+Text

In Semester Two our Context Writing moves to Futuristic Worlds. We will view and study 'Gattaca,' directed by Andrew Niccol in 1997. We will use this film, along with several other texts (including Newspaper Articles) to explore the reality of a Utopia, the role of Medical Science in our lives and the pressures faced by people searching to be perfect. Like we did in 'Montana 1948,' you will be expected to complete several activities on the film before you plan, draft and edit a number of short writing tasks that reflect your views on the ideas raised in the film. //Hope you enjoy it!//
