Through Crash Course, curious individuals can learn about everything from physics to video game history to philosophy. Now, thanks to the channel’s latest set of courses, those viewers can untangle the magic of cinema. Crash Course has unveiled three film series: A history lesson hosted by Craig Benzine,an introduction to criticism led by Michael Aranda, and a production course hosted by Lily Gladstone.
All three of the new courses will be produced by PBS Digital Studios, which teamed up with Crash Course co-founders Hank and John Green back in 2014. Benzine, who is becoming quite the regular on Crash Course, will examine how the film industry was shaped by the politics of nations like Germany and Russia; Gladstone, an actress, will share the knowledge she has picked up in her experience on film sets; Aranda, who regularly collaborates with the Green brothers, will marry specific films and filmmakers to the cultures and societies in which they existed.
Of those three shows, it is the film history course that will go live first. Benzine, who is best known for creating videos on his WheezyWaiter YouTube channel, will begin his look back through the lifespan of cinema on April 13th.
Crash Course’s YouTube home has more than 5.7 million subscribers. It is part of Hank and John Green’s digital network, which also includes channels like SciShow and Vlogbrothers.
