Cult Classics! Midnight Movies!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NAU and the Flagstaff community are invited to come together in front of the big screen in Cline Library\u2019s Assembly Hall for the College of Arts and Letters Film Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussions and screenings take place most<strong> Tuesdays at 7 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All screenings are free and open to the public. Each classic movie will be preceded by a short introduction from NAU faculty and followed by a community discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film series promotes understanding and appreciation of cinema through Northern Arizona University and the greater Flagstaff community. The CAL Film Series blends well-known audience favorites along with lesser-known films, as well as a mix of genres, directors, and actors. This season, the focus is on films that don&#8217;t normally get the respect one would expect from a film series. We are enjoying B movies, cult classics, and shows that are frequently featured in midnight movie houses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film series is made possible with the support of the College of Arts and Letters, the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies, the School of Communication\u2019s Journalism program, NAU\u2019s Cline Library, and under the direction of professors Paul Helford and Paul Donnelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free weeknight parking is available for community members behind Cline Library and requires a <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-arts-letters\/events\/parking-accessibility\/\">special free permit.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January 21: <strong><em>The Killing<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-arts-letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-17-at-10.10.30\u202fPM-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-17-at-10.10.30\u202fPM-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-17-at-10.10.30\u202fPM-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-17-at-10.10.30\u202fPM-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-17-at-10.10.30\u202fPM.png 1454w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><sup>Stanley Kubrick (Director).
