Film Culture Program

The Film Culture Program at Gregory College House devotes itself to film-lovers of all sorts. A regular schedule of screenings covers the history of the medium and the scope of world cinema today. The program hosts faculty discussions on a variety of cinematic subjects, makes numerous excursions to Philadelphia film venues, and provides endless opportunity for participants to analyze, appraise and argue about film... ...whether The Seventh Seal or The Sixth Sense, La Grand Illusion or Gladiator, L'Avventura or The Lord of the Rings. The program is located in Van Pelt Manor, 3909 Spruce Street.

All Gregorians are welcome to participate in the program for academic credit  (Cine 130.301).  The credit option is designed to balance rigor with an informal, flexible and communal atmosphere befitting a college house.

 
Application Process

FCP participants reside in Van Pelt Manor, 3909 Spruce Street. Room types are primarily quads, though doubles or singles may be available for upperclassmen. All residents, regardless of room type, have private bedroom space; all apartments have a private bathroom. Information on Penn's housing processes can be found at the Housing and Conference Services webpage.

Freshmen
Be sure to apply by the Housing Deadline, and list the code for FCP.  There is no essay.  Freshmen applicants will be assigned to the quad rooms closest to the Film Lounge on the fourth floor of Van Pelt.  4th floor occupants are almost entirely freshmen.

Returning Gregorians
Apply during the regular in-house process.  Remember to list your email address under "Film Culture," on the reverse of the application.

New Upperclassmen
Upperclassmen coming from other College Houses should fill out an "Application for New Program Participants" at the Van Pelt Manor Information Center; dates will be available on the Housing and Conference Services website.  Note that non-freshmen participants are not grouped together, but rather assigned anywhere in Gregory College House.  That said, we will try to assign new FCP applicants together within quad or double rooms when possible.
