MIL 601 The Films of John Huston
Continuing our exploration
of classic Hollywood
directors, this semester we
will be viewing selected
films of John Huston. We
saw his screen writing
skills and his support
of Humphrey Bogart last semester in Raoul
Walsh’s High Sierra. And in a previous course we
experienced his breakout film, the seminal noire
classic, The Maltese Falcon. This semester we will
return to the Sierras in another Bogart great, The
Treasure of the Sierra Madre. We will also watch
other early classics, Key Largo and The Asphalt
Jungle and may stay with a few other early Huston
films saving his later films for the next semester.

MIL 663 30 Campus Safety – Active Shooter/
Violent Intruder Awareness
An active shooter is
defined as an individual
who is actively engaged in
killing or attempting to kill
people. In most cases active
shooters use a firearm(s)
and display no pattern
or method for selection of their victims. Most
recently, there have been active shooters at college
campuses, malls and movie theaters. Join the MCC
campus safety team to learn best practices and
enhanced lock-down procedures during an active
shooter event. This is information you can use not
only on the MCC campus, but anywhere.

MIL 664 30 Contrasting Coasts
MIL 665 30 Women in the Middle Ages
First we will visit the rocky
coastline of Maine with its
characteristic lighthouses.
We will explore various
interesting sights and
historical places along
the way. We’ll hike several
trails in Acadia National Park and visit some of
the less visited parts of the park. Then we’ll travel
south to learn about the sandy beaches, coral reefs
and wetlands of coastal Florida. We’ll visit several
national parks and wildlife refuges with great
opportunities to see wetland birds such as ibis,
egrets, roseate spoonbills, wood storks and many
more. We’ll see alligators and even the elusive
crocodile up close. We hope you can join us.
Joan of Arc, Eleanor of
Acquitaine, Hildegarde of
Bingen, and St. Theresa
were highly regarded
during the Middle Ages,
and there were chapels for
Mary everywhere. Recent
research indicates women in the Middle Ages had
more choices than for several centuries afterward.
Did reverence for the Virgin Mary affect attitudes
about women? What was life like for ladies, serfs,
craftswomen, nuns and beguines?
Presenter: Ron Reynolds, MILES member and avid traveler.

Cuban feature films have a
good reputation elsewhere,
but have rarely been seen
in the US. Many of the best
films are about women. We
will see part of Lucia (1968)
and Portrait of Teresa (1979)
Lucia is considered one of the best Cuban films as
well as one of the 100 best films ever made. Portrait
of Teresa caused discussion and controversy. We
will discuss both films after watching a portion of
them.
