DESCRIPTION:In person and on Zoom\n\nOrganized in collaboration with the Sc
 iences Po Law School\, ‘Eating Popcorn like a Lawyer’ is a seminar series 
 that seeks to establish a continuous dialogue between the fields of law an
 d film. For each session we invite a prominent scholar to select\, discuss
  and analyze a thought-provoking film. \n\nFor our March session we have i
 nvited Prof. Daniel Weinstock. Together we explore Atom Egoyan’s modern cl
 assic The Sweet Hereafter (1997). Inspired by Russell Banks’ 1989 novel of
  the same name\, the films take us to a small town in British Columbia tha
 t is reeling from a tragic school bus accident in which many of its childr
 en were killed. Spurred on by an out-of-town lawyer\, those affected file 
 a class-action lawsuit in search of truth and damages. The film upends set
 tled convictions\, that we may hold\, about the relationships between trut
 h and lie on the one hand\, and community on the other. It suggests that t
 he latter is rarely built upon clear-eyed\, unflinching depictions of the 
 former. Just as a lie is sometimes necessary to preserve community\, the t
 ruths that justice seeks to unearth can be corrosive.  \n\nThe seminar is 
 open to all who wish to join us in exploring these themes. The film is to 
 be watched beforehand. It is freely available for streaming here on CBC Ge
 m. \n\nFeel free to bring your lunch! See you soon! \n\nThe Law and Film t
