Buffalo Film Seminars XVII: Brute Force
Tue, Sep 23rd 2008

The Buffalo Film Seminars continues tonight with Brute Force (1947) by Jules Dassin. Each week Diane Christian and Bruce Jackson introduce the film, the film is screened, there's a brief break, and then have an open discussion with students in a University at Buffalo film class and anyone else who cares to join in.
Handouts with production details, anecdotes and critical comments about each week's film on goldenrod paper are available in the Market Arcade lobby 45 minutes before each session. The Goldenrod handouts are posted online one day before the screening.
Free parking is available in the M&T fenced lot opposite the theatre's Washington Street entrance: pay the attendant $2, given the parking ticket to the ticket clerk in the theatre and get the $2 back.
