Free Film Series: Juno

SLCC is screening Juno at the South City Campus on Wednesday, October 28, as part of its free film series. The movie is rated PG-13, and the screening is open to the public, so you don't need to be a student to come along. Once the credits roll, the night keeps going with a discussion led by SLCC faculty, which is a nice way to stick around and talk through the film with people who know their stuff.

If you've seen Juno before, you know the drill: a sharp-tongued teenager finds herself pregnant and navigates the fallout with a mix of dry wit and a lot of heart. It's the kind of movie that works just as well on a big screen as it does at home, and having a conversation about it afterward gives you a reason to stay in your seat a bit longer. The discussion is part of the evening, not a separate event, so you can just roll from the movie straight into the talk.

Logistics are straightforward. The screening is at the Center for Arts and Media, in Screening Room 1-106A at 1575 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115. It starts at 6 PM, and since it's free and open to the public, there are no tickets to buy or reserve in advance. Just show up to the South City Campus on Wednesday evening, find the screening room, and you're set.
