MONTHLY FILM CLUB
Final Viewing: Thursday, April 23, 6:00 PM
St. Paul’s/Harvard Catholic Center, Harvard Square
Facilitated by HCF Undergraduate Fellow Kevin Hopkins
Visual culture has the ability to inspire and bring us together across diverse perspectives, and the great tradition of American cinema is a rich resource for this. To this end, join HCF this semester for a monthly film club, with pizza dinner and drinks provided. The films, of different genres, will be selected for their ability to address a range of social, cultural, and political issues as they pertain to the Christian tradition and the broader exercise of virtues in our society, both past and present. The film viewing each time will be followed by a facilitated discussion.
