Film series turns camera on
'Movies that Changed Movies'

Northern Arizona University's College of Arts and Letters continues its film series, "Movies that Changed the Movies," this spring with a focus on the stars, directors and cinematographers who charted new directions in film.

"These movies mark critical junctures in the history of 20th century films," said Joseph Boles, director of the series. "In some way the films recognize or pay homage to technical innovations, the transformations in 'acceptable' themes and the scope of acting."

Prior to each screening Boles, professor and senior advisor to the dean of Arts and Letters, and Paul Helford, senior lecturer in the School of Communication, will offer short lectures, brief slide presentations and appropriate film music.

Films will be screened at 7 p.m. Tuesdays in the Cline Library Assembly Hall. Films are free and open to the public. There also will be door prizes and a free candy concession stand before the movies.
