Course Description

Our community enrichment cinema course continues in fall 2025. Participants will watch and discuss three films exploring the portrayal of comedy in cinema. Our public course will examine how humor has changed over time, including the decline of the romantic comedy.
 
Each class session will include a pre-screening lecture followed by a showing of the film. Afterward, audience members will engage in conversation about the content events featured, the ways directors presented the subjects, and cinematic techniques used that may answer some questions while raising others.

Each class begins at 6:00 p.m. in Morgan Auditorium at Penn State Schuylkill’s Student Community Center.

Cost: $30 for community members
