The Aurora at the Albright-Knox film series enables participants to engage firsthand with filmmakers to expand their understanding of the art of film. The focus of this year’s series is award-winning Canadian films.
Each evening will begin at 7 pm, when Albright-Knox Curator of Education Mariann Smith will give a brief talk about art related to the theme of the film. Series Producer Paul Brown will then introduce the evening’s Special Guest—the film’s director, writer, or editor. The film will begin at 7:30 pm and will be followed by a discussion with the evening’s Special Guest.
Admission is free for Albright-Knox Members and $5 for non-members.
