Chris Vognar’s Screening Room
Reservations for RAISING ARIZONA are closedJoin the Dallas Film Society, Dallas Morning News film critic Chris Vognar, Stella Artois and the Angelika Film Center — Dallas for a look at comedy in the sound era.
Make ‘em Laugh: A Look at Modern American Comedies takes us from the 1930′s through the 1980s and examines a comedy that helped define not only filmmaking in its decade but also reflected America’s tastes, fears, politics—and sense of humor—during its moment in the theaters.
After each free screening at the Angelika Film Center in Dallas, Vognar will present insights and answer questions about the film, filmmakers and production. As always, we look forward to your questions.
Screenings are free and open to the public. The RSVP period opens 10 days before each screening (except for SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS). Click the RSVP link under the photo the film you’d like to see. Seating is not guaranteed and is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
