One of Hollywood's legendary directors, Fred Zinnemann (1907–1997) refused to conform to the studio system. Rethinking traditional film genres and telling stories about outsiders and nonconformists were essential qualities of this master director, who created a true cinema of resistance. A conversation follows each screening. Free; a separate reservation is required for each film.

Aphrodite always had serious competition from her son Eros, the Greek god of desire. Eros was active everywhere in Greek and Roman daily life, and his interferences in the affairs of gods and mortals were as much a cause for celebration as for lamentation.
On the occasion of the new exhibition Aphrodite and the Gods of Love, Christine Kondoleon of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, discusses ancient perceptions of Eros and his role in the realm of human desire, sex, and love. Free; a ticket is required.
