SCC – Ten Films That Changed America
Join your peers for cutting-edge film screenings
and creative conversation!
Thursday 8/22 at 7:00 PM at Cinema505
(No July Screening)
Student Cinema Collective conversation to follow immediately after the film at Montclair Film’s Cinema505 Media Lab.
For the first time ever we won’t be watching a film for SCC! We’ll be learning about films that shaped our American Identity.
We often think of the movies as entertainment, an escape from the pressures and crises of the world around us. Yet there is a group of films that have not only enchanted audiences but also influenced society, even changed America. In this brand-new and highly curated event, filmmaker Wilhelm Kuhn will discuss the cinematic masterpieces that have profoundly impacted our nation’s culture, history, and politics.
This fascinating presentation will give you the tools to understand and appreciate even the most complex films and help you understand of how each of them remade American society in unique ways. We will consider some of the most remarkable cinematic masterpieces ever made—while also introducing you to some less-known films that will surprise you. Films will include Casablanca, Rebel without a Cause, The Graduate, Jaws, Philadelphia…and others!
