Streaming How-to

By | Covid-19

The International Cinema (IC) program is back with a lineup of great films for Winter 2021!

While we are all grounded, for the time being, we can still travel the world this year by viewing some of the best in international film!  Each week this semester, IC will offer several feature films and documentaries online through our Hummedia collection.
Our collection on Hummedia will be available to current faculty, students, and staff with a BYU Net ID. Each user will need to sign up individually to gain access to this collection. After signing up via the form below, users will have access to films during the week they would normally be screened.

The following information is important to note regarding this new aspect of the International Cinema program:

  • Streaming will only be available to current BYU students and faculty using their BYU login info
  • In order to access the films on Hummedia, we have to add you to our list. This can be done by following this link and filling out the form: IC Streaming Sign-up
  • After signing up, go to hummedia.byu.edu, log in with your BYU credential, and stream to your heart’s content
  • Films will only be available for the week shown on the schedule, and then they will be replaced by the next week’s films

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at int-cinema@byu.edu

Thank you for your continued support and participation!

Roger Macfarlane : Make America Greek Again

By | Fall 2020, Lectures, News | No Comments

Professor of Classics, Dr. Roger Macfarlane speaks about Michael Cacoyannis’s classic adaptation, Iphegenia (1977). While breaking down each character in the play, Dr. Macfarlane suggests keeping an eye on the visual framing devices used for certain characters and how the film uses these frames to present its own interpretation of Euripides’ tragedy. It is this interpretation that also helps make sense of why Cacoyannis would choose to shoot this play in 1977 Greece.
