CEU Film Club – every Thursday, @6 pm
Culture Hub and HRSI is launching a new Film Club series to examine contemporary world challenges and phenomena through the lens of unique recent documentaries and feature films. We will invite film directors and relevant experts – both from and outside the university community – to guide us through the discussions following the screenings.
Both the screening and discussion will happen online - until conditions don't permit to host the Film Club at a “real place”, preferably a local - Viennese - community cinema.
