We Learn: Film Discussion — Lights, Camera, Story

​We Learn: Film Discussion is a free, six-week community class at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh — West End Branch. Each Thursday evening we screen trailers, discuss a feature film, and dig into the themes, craft, and culture behind it. No film background required. Just bring your curiosity.

​The theme this summer: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — in theaters July 17. We're using one of the most anticipated films of the year as a lens to explore how storytelling, myth, and cinema connect across generations.

​🎟️ Field Trip to See The Odyssey
We're planning an organized group outing to see The Odyssey in theaters — open to registered attendees. Details will be shared once you sign up. Register to stay in the loop.
