Description

"If you're a fan of our Preview Club, or you're just missing all the great post-film discussions at CAC, you're in luck! We've partnered with the long-time host of the CAC Preview Club, David Schwartz, to bring you a special online film and discussion series!

“Drama is easy, comedy’s hard,” said film director Peter Bogdanovich. But with a world so full of drama and tragedy now, comedy is essential. As we all stay at home to help flatten the curve, this online film club offers a chance to see five of the great screen comedies, accompanied by live discussions. It’s not the same as being at our beloved Cinema Arts Centre in person, but it’s an experience we can enjoy together.

Here’s how it works: Your curator and host David Schwartz has selected five films available for viewing on the Criterion Channel

1. Sign up and purchase your Comic Gems program pass on our website ($55 Public / $45 Members).
2. If you’re not already a member of the Criterion Channel, you can use an exclusive discount offer for the Cinema Arts Centre and get a three-month membership (plus a free two-week trial period) for just $5.49/month.  The Criterion discount code will be included in your confirmation email after you purchase your Comic Gems program pass.
3. You’ll then watch the films on your own, along with a video introduction by David Schwartz.
4. After watching the film, you’ll be able to join David online on Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. for a live discussion, including a conversation with a special guest, and questions from members. Discussions will be hosted on Zoom."
