Do you love watching movies? Have you ever secretly wished you had gone to film school? Here’s your chance! Join Community Engagement Librarian Sasha Kohan each month as we watch a movie followed by a wide-ranging discussion, covering everything from costume design to lighting to star power (maybe with just a touch of film theory, as a treat).
This time, we’re celebrating Black History Month with Jordan Peele’s instant classic, Get Out. This contemporary comedy-horror is a masterclass in writing, directing, and tackling the difficult subject of racism in America. This haunting and satirical journey through the Sunken Place is sure to provide some laughs, some gasps, and plenty of discussion on modern microaggressions.
Come just for the movie and popcorn, or stay for the conversation afterward too! To stay up to date on future Film School screenings and receive post-discussion material, sign up for the Film School mailing list. No registration required to see the movies! Open to all from movie buffs to casual viewers, and everyone in between.
