At the Jacob Burns Film Center, we love the experience of sharing stories as part of a community. In our new club Adapted: Page to Screen, we’ll come together to appreciate films and the books on which they’re based. Each month, we’ll read—and, of course, watch!—a select number of classic and compelling stories before engaging in a discussion moderated by Series Curator Sarah Soliman.
