Bruce Jackson and Diane ChristianBuffalo Film Seminars X/Spring 2005
The Buffalo Film Seminars have been offered at the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center (MAFAC) since January 2000. (Click here for a complete listing of films exhibited in the series.) MAFAC is a non-profit corporation directed by a volunteer board of directors and operated by Dipson Theaters. The Seminars are a joint production of MAFAC and University at Buffalo.
All sessions begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. The two of us briefly introduce each film before it is screened. After the film is done, we take a short break, then have an open discussion with the students in our UB Contemporary Cinema class and other members of the audience who care to join us. For current information, visit our website: http://buffalofilmseminars.com.
Free parking is available in the fenced M&T Bank parking lot opposite the theater’s Washington Street entrance. The Market Arcade is directly opposite Metrorail's Theater station. Click here for driving directions and maps.
All sessions of the Buffalo Film Seminars are open to the public. Tickets are required. Students registered in our Contemporary Cinema class (ENG401-JAC) receive series passes as part of their class registration. Tickets for everyone else are available at the box office at MAFAC's ordinary prices: $8 regular, $6 for students, $5.50 for 62-and-over. Series tickets for all remaining films in the Buffalo Film Seminars can be purchased any time at a 15% discount.
