The VBMA’s Film Studies program, with instructor Diane Thelen, offers a thoughtful exploration of cinema, blending classic and contemporary films designed to educate, enlighten, and entertain. During the 2024-25 season, participants can attend class at the VBMA on Tuesdays at 1:30 pm or stream the films from the comfort of their homes. Registered students will receive weekly emails with film handouts, streaming links, and instructions. Following the in-house screening, we invite attendees to participate in a brief, optional “talk-back” session, providing an opportunity to discuss thoughts and questions about the film with classmates.
This package includes the following Film Studies series dates:
October 15-November 12, 2024Bienvenido a Cuba: Exploring Cuba’s Diverse Culture
November 19-December 17, 2024Odd Couples: Films That Explore Unusual Pairings
