Dark Frames, dir. by Tom Thurman
Mr. Thurman will be present for a Q and A to follow. Presented by the Department of Writing Rhetoric and Digital Studies and the Student Activities Board.
If you have friends and colleagues who might enjoy Dark Frames, and if you have students who might learn more about this important tributary of cinema, please pass this on or consider integrating the film into your classes. A file of this note and a poster are attached.
The theatre should afford ample space for social distancing.
