about

Boston Modernism is a website that showcases the work of Northeastern Cinema Studies majors as they respond to the historic modernist movements within the context of Boston’s urban environment.  This experimental and innovative website is a joint project with Cinema Studies and Educational Technology Center at Northeastern University.  The site was designed by Michael Godlewski and Phuong Phan from the Educational Technology Center.

You will need to download an updated version of quicktime to enjoy all the videos on the site.
