Marc Francis, Film Programming Manager, Yale Faculty of Arts and Sciences discusses the Secret Film Society

At Yale University Schwarzman Center there is a secret club that you can belong to if you love movies.

Famed director Shawn Levy is paying another visit to his alma mater in New Haven next month, and this time he's bringing along movie star Ryan Reynolds.

Yesterday’s Schwarzman Session, part of a series of special guest-led discussions serving “fresh ideas over a meal” at Yale’s Schwarzman Center, felt surreal in theory and natural in reality.

Levy, best known for his directorial work on “Stranger Things” and “Deadpool and Wolverine,” will visit Yale this Thursday to talk about his experiences in the entertainment industry.

New Haven artists Jisu Sheen and Kulimushi Barongozi created a film in conjunction with an event in 2021 at the temporary skate bowl constructed with support from Yale Schwarzman Center—a film that has now inspired a new album.
