BAM/PFA Film Club: Howard's End

Join us for the first ever Member Film Club Meetup! Our new Film Club is your chance to view and discuss movies related to our programs with your fellow members. These films will be shown in digital format in the PFA Library and Film Study Center (http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/pfalibrary/) screening room. The screening room seats only ten people, so please RSVP early through Meetup.com or by emailing bampfamember@berkeley.edu.

Forster. After the screening, we will have an informal discussion about the Ivory film series and the art of adapting novels for film. Participants are encouraged but not required to read Philip Lopate’s essay Novels and Films: A Comedy of Remarriage. (http://www.philliplopate.com/novelsandfilms.html)
