Film Discussion: Alain Resnais — Memory, Time & Form

Join us for a discussion (not a screening) of two landmark films by French director Alain Resnais: Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) and Last Year at Marienbad (1961).

We’ll explore how Resnais fractures narrative time, blurs memory and imagination, and pioneered a modernist film language that still influences cinema today — from the traumatic, elliptical romance of Hiroshima Mon Amour to the dreamlike, ambiguous puzzle of Marienbad.

Please note: this is a discussion group, not a film screening. Come having already watched (or rewatched) both films if you can — we’ll dive straight into analysis and conversation.

📍 Location: 570 Lygon Street
Please check in and collect your name tag/receipt at the lobby before heading to the meeting room.

Looking forward to a lively conversation!
