Bambi Turns 100: Join the SinaiFree Film Society for a Provocative Discussion with a Special Guest
18 Oct @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
The year 2023 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the classic novel Bambi: A Life in the Woods, by the Austrian Jewish author and journalist Felix Salten. But what is Bambi really about? Is it simply the story of a deer growing up in the forest…or much more than that? And how does Walt Disney’s famous 1942 film depart from the novel?
To explore these questions, the SinaiFree Film Society is delighted to host an online conversation with special guest Dr. Jack Zipes. In 2022, his masterful new translation – entitled The Original Bambi: The Story of a Life in the Forest – was published by Princeton University Press.
A more detailed program description is available here, including information on how to watch the film.
