On Thursday, May 15, 2025 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom, join us for a virtual program and learn more about the films of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.

Hollywood is an industry that has always depended on blockbusters. But beginning in 1974, two young filmmakers, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, would together change the way the movie industry made movies. Join us as we explore their five decades of filmmaking and how they have changed the movies.
