📚 Lecture: “The History of Titanic Movies”

🎤 Speaker: Professor Isabella Tecson

Join us for an intriguing evening with Professor Isabella Tecson as we dive into the fascinating history of Titanic films. While you may be familiar with James Cameron’s cinematic masterpiece, did you know there are hundreds of films and media inspired by that fateful night in April?

In this lecture, we’ll explore the enduring and often bizarre portrayal of the Titanic after its tragic sinking. Isabella will engage us in a thought-provoking conversation about whether we should allow our hearts to go on after such immense tragedy or if some stories are better left undisturbed at the ocean floor.
