"The Magic of Cinema" is a film series sponsored by Peninsula College with funding from the Peninsula College Foundation and the Associated Student Council. The series seeks to present the range of possibilities of film as an art form through screenings of classics from Art Cinema and Hollywood's Golden Age, as well as contemporary foreign and independent features, and documentaries. The series will continue throughout the school year.
All shows are in the Little Theater. Tickets are $5 at the door or $1.00 with a current Peninsula College Student ID card.
If you have questions about the film series or would like to be added to the series email list to receive updates about the schedule, please email Bruce Hattendorf.
