Okanagan College’s popular “Classics at the Classic” in Salmon Arm returns in January for its fifth season after a two year hiatus, and with a contemporary twist. In previous years, the series has largely showcased established classics and foreign-language films, but this season the series focuses on the works of three of the most exciting and distinctive directors working today: Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Terrence Malick.

The non-profit program is sponsored by Okanagan College and supported by the Salmar Association, and runs in conjunction with a second-year Film Criticism and Theory course taught by Okanagan College English Professor Tim Walters, who introduces each of the films. 

The “Contemporary Classics at the Classic” screenings are open to the public ($5 admission) on Monday nights at the Salmar Classic theatre throughout the winter.
