Cinema Club: 6 Decades of Romantic Comedies

We watch a movie and then discuss its history and cultural relevance. You do not need to have attended previous sessions to sign up.

This is part of our series 6 Decades of Romantic Comedies, where we’re observing how that genre has shifted over the years. This month we’ll be watching an indie film from the 2010s whose dialogue feels like a throwback to the 1940s and may be the first ever aromantic comedy.

This event is sponsored by the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers. CSIF was founded in 1978 by a collective of twelve filmmakers who saw the growing need for film resources and film equipment on the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), also known as Calgary, Alberta. Now over 40 years later we are an integral part of the growing cultural community in Calgary and are excited about new collaborations and opportunities.
