Join us for an exploration of all things romantic (comedy), as we present a screening and analysis of the Frank Capra classic: It Happened One Night (1934). Film Studies teacher Gareth Jones will outline some of the key debates in genre theory before the film, and afterwards, we get together in the Museum bar to discuss the film’s lasting influence on the rom-com genre, considering why some conventions endure, and what they can teach us about the values of our society. We look forward to seeing you there!
