Immigrants and the American Dream in Cinema: Does Freedom Equal Success?
Philadelphia Museum of Art Film Lecturer Mike McGonigle will show us the good, bad, and absurd ways that immigrants have been represented in American cinema. Michael is an engaging speaker who will be sure to spark a lively discussion while showing you clips from over a dozen films, both documentary and narrative, well-known and obscure.
We will have movie night appropriate snacks, beer and wine, and great company. Suggested donation $25.
When: Friday, April 27, 6-8 pm
Where: William Way Center, 1315 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
