Post-film discussions: the newest in Coolidge Education

Coolidge Education is expanding to include a new program of post-screening, participant-driven discussions of the film and its context!

Experienced instructors will guide and facilitate these discussions, but the dialogue belongs to you and your neighbors. Get the best of the classroom experience without grades or lectures!

These discussions join the other longstanding Coolidge Education programs that accompany and enhance your appreciation of film screenings, including:

  • Seminars: Before select repertory screenings, local professors, critics, and filmmakers present a half hour deep-dive into classic, cult, and popular films. Tickets include the introductory workshop and a reserved seat at our primetime screening on the big screen.

  • Classes: Coolidge Education classes meet for three hours once a week over a period of four or five weeks. Each class meeting features context, film screening, and conversation.

The first round of Coolidge Education discussions kicks off in November 2024! After Sunday afternoon Noirvember screenings, join Northeastern professor Nathan Blake in the Education & Community Engagement Center to discuss the film, the genre, and the gender tropes it defined and defied.

Please note: just as with our seminars, Coolidge Education discussions are ticketed events and cannot be purchased except as a package with the associated film screening.
