Our meetings will consist of a 40-60 minute in-person screening followed by discussion. Each meeting, 1-2 optional short texts will be shared with the group beforehand to compliment and provide background on the films.

Those interested can email Julia Curl at [email protected] or attend one of our in-person screenings. No advance preparation is required.
