SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS Supplementary materials provide a context for viewing and discussing the film. Articles, reviews and essays can be chosen by the facilitator and distributed in advance to the group. Along with watching the film in advance, the facilitator can do some basic research before the meeting. Reading articles and reviews about the selected film and its makers, learning about the movie's historical context, looking at related books and tapes–all make for a more knowledgeable facilitator and better discussions. Some groups may decide to read books prior to the discussion. These might include books that served as the basis for the movie or are related to the film or film series. Other videos can be used as supplementary materials, and JHVC courses can also provide useful background on selected topics and films. Each group needs to decide which materials everyone will be expected to read or view and which will be optional. Whatever the mix, the discussion can only improve with these resources.
