All who share a love of film are invited to the showings, which are free.

The remaining films for the semester are:

“Forbidden Games,” a 1952 work directed by René Clement, will be offered on April 9. Robert Rhodes, professor emeritus of English, will discuss the film.

“Don’t Look Now,” a 1973 drama directed by Nicholas Roeg, will be shown on May 7. Scott Anderson of the Geography Department faculty will offer his thoughts on the film.
