What: Our first film series is organized around the theme of literature

Culture and the Arts is a program that explores a wide range of cultural and artistic expression. So it is fitting that our first series is organized around the theme of literature. Literature comes in many forms and has been inspirational to filmmakers since the earliest narrative films were made more than a century ago.

In this series we will look at a recent film adaptation of a classic Victorian novel, a biographical film based on the life and loves of the English Romantic poet, John Keats, a spirited adaptation of a classic childrenʼs picture book, and an adaptation of an Irish short story, set in a literary festival, with ghostly spookiness and gripping suspense!

* In addition to our regular series, we have a special, feature presentation of the awardwinning Canadian film, Heater, including a Q & A with writer-director Terrance Odette. Critically acclaimed by such publications as Variety, McLeanʼs, The Globe and Mail, and The Village Voice, which called it a “Beckett-like tour de force.” Set in a snowy Winnipeg just before Christmas, Heater tells the story of two homeless men who try to return a stolen base-board heater to Eatons for a refund, so they can buy a pack a of smokes. It stars acclaimed Canadian actors Gary Farmer and Stephen Ouimette. We are excited to have Terrance Odette join us for this screening on Wednesday, March 21 at 7:00pm.


All are welcome. We look forward to seeing you on campus!
