Movies are many things—entertainment, art, and objects of culture and history, to name a few—and there are multiple approaches to understanding, engaging with, and learning from them. Our Cinema Studies program introduces students to new ways of appreciating film and guides them through thoughtful explorations of important movies, filmmakers, and more. Join us to dive deeper into some of your favorites—or to encounter a movie you've never seen—in the company of your fellow film lovers and a skilled instructor. It will be an illuminating night at the movies.
