FOR member Steve Whiteman teaches a free course in the appreciation of classic film and associated popular culture. The course is full, but seats often become available to see individual films.

The movies will be recognized classics, the majority from Hollywood’s Golden Age — the 1930s and 40s — and the rest from other eras or other countries, with broad exposure to key directors, actors, and genres. Programs will include a cartoon and/or short subject; coming attractions; the feature film; and clips and commentary on personnel, techniques, and relevant popular culture, with discussion interspersed. Books and films will be prizes in the regular trivia contests. The group meets twice a month, on the evening of the first and second Saturdays. For more information, to check on the availability of drop-in slots, or to be put on the mailing list, email Steve at classic.film@yahoo.com.
