Do you love watching movies? Have you ever secretly wished you had gone to film school? Here’s your chance! Join Community Engagement Librarian Sasha Kohan each month as we watch a movie followed by a wide-ranging discussion, covering everything from costume design to lighting to star power (maybe with just a touch of film theory, as a treat).
This month, we’ll be taking a look at screwball comedy with Howard Hawks’ beloved classic Bringing Up Baby. Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, a leopard named Baby…what more could you ask for? We’ll talk about conventions of the screwball genre and why the 1930s was a ripe time for an era of silly comedies.
Come just for the movie and popcorn, or stay for the conversation afterward too!

Open to all from movie buffs to casual viewers, and everyone in between.
