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 month, we’re following up our study of screwball comedy with the genre’s twisted sister–film noir. Was it an accident? No! Was it suicide? No! It was murder! Join us for our screening and discussion of Billy Wilder’s quintessential film noir, Double Indemnity. We’ll talk about conventions of the genre, many of which were established in this classic 1944 movie, along with some discussion of its many permutations over time.
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.
