Films may be viewed in the Museum’s Leonhardt Auditorium or from the comfort of one's own home. Following the in-house screening, attendees can participate in a brief, optional “talk-back” session to share thoughts and questions about the film with classmates.

Courses are held on Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m. Tuition is $80 per person per series for VBMA members and $96 per person per series for non-members.
