Announcing our Fall 2018 Series: Scandinavian Film!
Scandinavian Film Series
Northern Europe has long been a stronghold of cinema, the birthplace of scores of mysterious, enchanting, and exciting films that have been cemented as classics of film history. Join us now as La Cinémathèque Film Club introduces a new series that explores three important films from Scandinavia. After each film screening, there will be discussions about the the culture and politics of the country as presented in the films, as well as conversations about the artistic content and human stories.
La Cinémathèque Film Club screenings are curated and hosted by educator, artist, and filmmaker Gerard Amsellem.
To attend, buy your membership online or at the SOPAC box office for just $50.
