Join us for a screening and conversation with acclaimed video essayist Christian Keathley. His latest work, Cinephilia and History, or The Mystery of William Keighley, imaginatively explores the uncanny connections between Keathley himself, Warner Bros. director William Keighley, and their shared ancestral home of Keighley, West Yorkshire — offering a moving reflection on a life shaped by cinephilia.

Following the screening, the filmmaker will be present for an open Q&A and informal discussion over pizza. This even is on Thursday, November 6th at 4PM in the ILC S404. Free and open to the public!
