teaching advanced russian through film

[Irina Dubinina]

Dear SEELANGers,
I am preparing a course next fall which uses Soviet/Russian film as the basis for language development.  This is an advanced language course, and the majority of students will be heritage speakers of Russian.  Has anybody used the textbook "Cinema for Russian conversation" in their courses?  Do you have any strong opinions about the book?  
Does anybody have bits of wisdom to share on what works and what does not in a course like this?  Any interesting materials that you would not mind sharing?

I will appreciate any suggestions!
Best wishes,

Irina Dubinina
