‘On the Silver Screen’ Film Series

Come join us for cinema and psychoanalysis!

These workshops/talks pair critical texts in film theory with clips and partial viewings of the compelling films they address. We’ll read, watch, snack, and converse as we delve into film noir, Second Wave cinema, the LA Rebellion, and psychoanalytic film theory.  The series is sequenced, but feel free to drop in to any event!
