Critical Film Viewing Cafe
Sep 28 @ 11:00 pm – Sep 29 @ 12:30 am

 Watching a film, other than for pure entertainment, is enhanced by an informed awareness of how a film works, and with some understanding, skill and background training in the elements of the craft of filmmaking.

Viewing a film critically and attentively means to realize cinema with greater thought and awareness, and possessing an informed knowledge of the film’s complex and dense language, its conventions, codes, symbols, cinematic attributes, and other factors.
