Now in its 10th year, the King Evening Film Classes are free for all adults in the Maret community and held on Zoom from 7:00-9:00pm. Registration is required. Participants are asked to watch the films on their own before the class. A Zoom link and pre-discussion notes will be emailed to all registrants prior to each class. The class features presentations and group discussions. Attend as many sessions as you like!
Maret is grateful to former faculty members Leonard and Betty King for once again offering this class. Leonard taught History and Aesthetics of Film for 43 years. We thank him for continuing to share his passion and wealth of knowledge with the Maret community.
