How do historians enjoy movies made in or about the past? Learn how film shapes how we remember historical events and how the historian's craft can leap off the page and onto the silver screen! Join us for a short lecture, discussion, and screening of history on film. 

This month, the History Film Series is screening A Matter of Life and Death (1946, dir. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger). A British wartime aviator who cheats death must argue for his life before a celestial court, hoping to prolong his fledgling romance with an American girl.
