This is such a great department, I love the discussions it fosters for its students based on the great philosophies of life. Recently, I watched the film “Wrong” by Quentin Dupieux on the platform, Film Festival Flix and thought it raised a lot of really important, existential questions about morality, and I was curious what students in this department would think of it. Film Festival Flix also has a lot of really fantastic, thought-provoking films that are worth looking into. Let me know if you decide to watch “Wrong” and what your thoughts are on the philosophical elements discussed in the film.
