Discover The Lens Project, a  curated program led by Morris Bell, Carleton University Film Studies graduate. This series invites participants to move beyond passive streaming and engage with cinema as art, history, and ideological expression. Each session includes a contextual introduction, full screening, and in-depth guided discussion exploring narrative structure, political subtext, cultural context, and cinematic technique. Films are selected for their artistic merit and capacity to provoke thoughtful dialogue rather than simple entertainment. Open to students, artists, and community members alike, the club fosters critical viewing skills, historical awareness, and collective interpretation—reclaiming film as a communal, intellectually rich experience in an age of algorithm-driven content.
