We are happy to announce the return of film “maven” and dear friend of the Lark, Harry Chotiner, in October for six weeks of Let’s Go to the Movies with Harry!

We are eager to announce that the Lark’s wonderful series, Movies with Harry!

We are ready to begin another film discussion series with excellent film choices made weekly by our experienced movie “maven” and dear friend of the Lark, Harry Chotiner. His class has grown to be an enriching and fulfilling “movie club” that fills up quickly!

Once you’re signed up, you’ll receive an email with more details along with a Zoom invitation to the first class.

Harry selects the films as we go along, tailoring them to the group as it unfolds. Previous groups have come to implicitly trust Harry’s selections — sight unseen — for an entertaining and in-depth learning experience. As one participant expressed it:

“I was mesmerized by your insightful comments. As usual, you stretch my thinking, allowing me to go well beyond my initial impressions, something I always appreciate.”
