Dinner and a Movie: The Prestige pt 1
Geoff Klock at Berg'n
Wed, Jun 15 at 8 p.m. | 90 minutes
Christopher Nolan directed Memento, Interstellar, Inception, and the Christian Bale Batman movies. But his best movie remains the little seen Prestige, the OTHER movie that came out that season about dueling 19th century magicians. Join me for a two part class where we watch the film free from spoilers, pausing every once an a while to discuss how it's really a meditation on the art of filmmaking itself. Get there early and grab dinner!
This is a two-part class, the second part is on June 22.

What is Think Olio?
Think Olio is here to put the liberation back into the liberal arts.
Classically, the liberal arts, were the education considered essential for a free person to take an active part in civic life. To counter a humanities that has been institutionalized and dehumanized we infuse critical thinking, openness, playfulness, and compassion into our learning experience.
