FILM TALKS: REFRAMING THE CLASSICS
Many of the beloved classics that we enjoy have stood the test of time in several ways, nevertheless when viewed by contemporary standards, certain aspects of these films can be troubling and problematic.
This Film Talk, presented by Todd Rendleman, addresses a collection of such movies and explores their history, considers their cultural context, and discusses how these movies can be reframed so that future generations will keep their legacy alive.
Presented in our theater for an in-person audience.
