OLLI Experience: Cinema du Jour (LYRIC)

Come enjoy a series of six films and post-film discussions in the comfort of the NEW Lyric Cinema Café, 1209 N. College Avenue. The class will gather at The Lyric to watch a selection of movies with unique storylines and observe filmmaking techniques that often vary from the standard studio fare; however, this is not intended to be a filmmaking course. After each cinematic adventure, you'll be able to discuss these thought-provoking films together. Movies may be subtitled and carry various ratings. Your theater ticket and a small popcorn are included in the course cost. 

*This course meets either on Tuesdays (Section 009) or Wednesdays (Section 010).  Please use the + button to select your preferred section/day. *
