In partnership with Calgary Public Library, these free Sunday afternoon screenings are paired with a lecture and/or guided conversation about each film’s artistic and cultural impact. One film from three of our programming series will be featured, as well as a special Remembrance Day screening. Screenings and lectures will be held in the brand new lecture hall at the new Central Library.
