Join us for a new breakthrough film series at the Cosford Cinema focusing on current world issues such as migration and social inclusion, peace and security, ageing populations, democracy, climate change and artificial intelligence.
The series is intended to bring two types of audiences together: Movie lovers and people who care about current events.
Each screening will be preceded by a wide-ranging, multi-media conversation between Bill Cosford Cinema manager, Rene Rodriguez, and a special guest.
The series launches on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 5 p.m. with “Together” (2021), a comedy-drama starring James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan as a married couple forced to re-evaluate their relationship while trapped inside their London apartment during the Covid-19 lockdown. The film is co-directed by Oscar-nominee Stephen Daldry (“Billy Elliot,” “The Hours,” “The Reader”).
The screening will be preceded by a 40-minute discussion between Rodriguez and Karin Wilkins, dean of the School of Communication at the University of Miami, touching on the unintended long-term social and physical distance after the Covid-19 pandemic, including the toll on human relationships and the mental and physical consequences of restriction of movement. The discussion will include clips from other movies exploring similar subject matter.
Admission is free, but advance registration is required at the link. Watch this video for more information, https://vimeo.com/765456871.

Watching Movies with: Phil Lord
2022-10-01 17:00 - 19:30 | Bill Cosford Cinema, 5030 Brunson Drive, Dooly Memorial 225, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Join Phil Lord and Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez for a screening and discussion of the dark comedy “Harold and Maude.”
Phil Lord is a Miami native who began his film career with “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” co-directed by his creative partner Christopher Miller. Since then, the duo directed “21 Jump Street” (2012), “The Lego Movie” (2014), “22 Jump Street” (2014) and shared the Best Animated Feature Oscar for co-producing “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” (2018). He also produced the Oscar-nominated “The Mitchells vs the Machines” and wrote and produced TV shows such as “Brooklyn 911,” “The Last Man on Earth,” “Bless the Harts” and “The Afterparty,” among many others.
HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971) | DIRECTED BY HAL ASHBY | RUNNING TIME: 91 MINUTES | RATED PG for mild language and adult themes.
Bud Court stars as a rich young man who is obsessed with committing suicide until he meets a lively septuagenarian Holocaust survivor (Ruth Gordon) at a funeral. Critically scorned upon its original release, the movie is now considered one of the best American films of the 1970s and is a beloved cult classic. “Harold and Maude” was shocking by the standards of 1971 Hollywood movies, even the ones that styled themselves as adventurous or hip. But it is so ideologically and emotionally consistent, and weaves such a gentle spell, that we can accept the central romance as a metaphor for beleaguered political and social sentiments even as we get to know Harold and Maude as individuals and root for their happiness. It’s a romance, a tragedy, a satire, a paean to eccentricity, a philosophical statement, and a “trip” film whose music montages seem to roll in like waves.
Tickets are $10 plus tax to the general public, free for UM students with Cane Card (use UMSTUDENT) at checkout.

Addressing COVID-19 Misinformation and Resiliency Among Latinos Living with HIV: Formative Research Guiding the Latinos Unidos Microgame Intervention
The effects of mitigation strategies including shelter-in-place orders and social distancing combined with the COVID “infodemic” disseminated by media may interact synergistically to worsen already compromised mental health outcomes and medical treatment of PLWH. We propose that a microgame intervention targeting individual resilience skill building and media literacy could be mobilized to protect the mental health of Latino PLWH as well as promote HIV care during the pandemic.
