Pickford Film Center, 1318 Bay Street

Join us for a screening of the 2023 Wim Wenders film, Perfect Days, at the Pickford Film Center on Bay Street on Thursday, November 20 at 5:45 pm. The screening will be followed by a symposium the following day, Friday, November 21 from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm in Fine Arts (FI) 238 that will bring together scholars to analyze Perfect Days from a social justice perspective that brings to light issues of equity by considering how the built environment as well as filmic, literary, and auditory contexts can support expressions of dignity for all in our society. The symposium will also be live-steamed at this Zoom link. 

50 free student tickets will be offered for the Perfect Days film screening, which can be picked up ahead of time either at the box office (or the theater at the time of the screening) while supplies last.
