Cabaret (1972, Dir. Bob Fosse)
Ten Academy Awards nominations, eight Oscars

Followed by Q&A and audience discussion

The Film House, 250 St. Paul St., St. Catharines

Brock University’s Department of Political Science invites you to join us for a screening and discussion of Cabaret, the classic 1972 film starring Liza Minelli.

The election of Donald Trump in the United States and the worldwide rise of extreme right-wing populism has sparked interest in early 1930s Germany, the period captured by Cabaret, one of the most celebrated films in American cinema.

“Set as it is in Germany between the two World Wars, Cabaret is a compelling exploration of what constitutes complicity or resistance to the gathering forces of authoritarian rule,” says Brock Associate Professor of Dramatic Arts David Fancy. “It has surprising relevance to the contemporary moment.”

The film will be followed by a Q&A and audience discussion with Prof. Fancy.

Cabaret is presented in conjunction with the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre Film House. Tickets are $9 (general admission) and $7 for Film House members. Tickets can be bought online or by calling the box office at 905-688-0722. Tickets are also available the day of show.
