Fall 2021 Buffalo Film Seminars/Great Directors schedule

These are the dates for the Tuesday @ 7:00PM Zoom discussions for the fall series. We will post the Goldenrod handouts the Saturdays before each Tuesday discussion. Those notices will include links to our Vimeo introductions and the Tuesday Zoom discussions.

All the films are available on Criterion and/or Amazon Prime (indicated by P and C after the title). Some of the Amazon Prime films are free with membership; some require a small additional fee.

Seven of the films (the listings in bold) are available free to anyone with a UB email address via the UB Library’s Kanopy or Swank portals. To access them, go to https://library.buffalo.edu/findmaterials/databases/, enter Kanopy or Swank, then enter the title of the film you want to watch. They are all available now.

Amazon and Prime both permit one-month trial memberships. Individuals with UB email accounts can Watch the films on September 7, 14, and 21 on Criterion; the films on November 9, 16, 23, and 30 on Prime; and the rest through the UB Library.
