We at the Bright firmly believe that nothing can replace sharing a space with cinephiles and experiencing a film communally. But while the space is dark, we can continue to watch important films and gather to discuss virtually. In that spirit, we announce our Bright Lights at Home program. We have selected eight titles that are available on Netflix or Hulu (or will be in the next few weeks). We will have live moderated conversations with directors and scholars for each film. These discussions will take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7 PM starting April 7th. Zoom links will be sent out via email on the day of the discussion. You will need to be on our mailing list.
