Please join us for the History Department’s new Documentary Film Series, a chance for students and faculty to watch and discuss documentary films together and think about the intersections of historical scholarship, art, and public history.

Our first film will be Waltz With Bashir, Ari Folman’s groundbreaking 2008 documentary that uses animation to explore issues of trauma, memory, and brutality of the 1982 war between Israel and Lebanon. The screening will take place at 3:30pm in the King Juan Carlos of Spain Center (53 Washington Square South), room 701. We’ll provide the popcorn.

Mark your calendars now for the other fall dates in the series: Friday October 27th and Friday November 17th, both at 3:30 pm in KJCC 701.
