How do historians enjoy movies made in or about the past? Learn how film shapes how we remember historical events and how history can make for great entertainment. Join us as we experience historian's craft beyond the book and on the silver screen! Organized and curated by a doctoral student, this film series brings together great cinema and great history. Each film screening is sponsored by a history class with an introduction by the course instructor. Join us each month for a short introductory talk, discussion, and screening of historically significant films. Refreshments provided at all screenings. This is an FYO event. Free and open to the UGA community. For more information, please contact Chris Choe, christianchoe@uga.edu. Film Schedule Fall 2026 September The Return of Martin Guerre (1982, dir.
