NAU’s College of Arts and Letters Film Series, which is co-sponsored by the Cline Library and the School of Communication, promotes understanding and appreciation of cinema through Northern Arizona University and the greater Flagstaff community.
Before each movie, a local film expert offers a short introduction to set the film in its historical, artistic, and cultural context. Each film is followed by a discussion.

The CAL film series blends well-known audience favorites along with lesser-known movies, as well as a mix of genres, artists, and decades, moving chronologically from past to present so that audiences can see the evolution of the art form.

Based loosely on Shakespeare’s Henry IV, this film follows two young hustlers who befriend each other while living on the streets, but their different backgrounds threaten to drive them apart. Directed by Gus Van Sant; Starring River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, James Russo; 1991. 104 mins. R
