Yale professor Mark Schenker returns to New Canaan Library to offer a discussion on what makes a movie a classic. In this Oscar season, it’s worth noting that many movies considered to be classics have never won an Oscar. Join Professor Schenker at the Library on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 2 p.m. in the Adrian Lamb Room. Register online at newcanaanlibrary.org.
Consider three films: The Wizard of Oz, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Apollo 13. One is a fantasy, the other an adventure, and the last is a historical drama. What they have in common is the fact that none have won an Oscar, but all have endured the test of time to become cinema classics. Join this film discussion to talk about what makes a movie a classic, even when it is (infamously) ignored by the Academy Awards.
A film discussion with Mark Schenker will be held at the New Canaan Library Saturday, Feb. 25.
