- Classics of French Cinema (Hybrid)
-
ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. Please contact the OLLI Office for assistance.
France launched one of the world’s first theatrical film industries—and it has been shaping cinema ever since. In this course, we’ll screen ten essential classics, from a silent-era masterpiece through defining movements such as poetic realism, the tradition of quality, the French New Wave, and later landmarks. We’ll encounter films by major directors including Renoir, Carné, Godard, Varda, and Tati. You’ll find everything from tragedy to comedy across the lineup. Our discussions will explore technique and style, historical and cultural context, and each film’s lasting influence. No film-study background is needed—just curiosity about filmmaking and film history. (Note: all films are in French with English subtitles.)

- Decoding Your Lab Results: How to Read Your Body's Report Card
-
ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. Please contact the OLLI Office for assistance.
After your healthcare provider orders lab tests, reviewing the results can be a daunting task. Some results are normal, and others may be flagged as too low or too high. But what do these numbers really mean? You will learn about some of the most common laboratory tests ordered by your healthcare provider, and what the values can mean within the context of your overall health status. We will also cover common laboratory results associated with different health conditions, including anemia, high cholesterol, kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, and bacterial or viral infections. Additional laboratory testing related to other conditions including osteoporosis and neurodegenerative disease will also be examined.
