Join the Columbia University Department of History Board of Visitors to watch and talk about The Graduate (1968), which helped to usher in the 'New Hollywood,’ an era of filmmaking increasingly geared toward a youthful American audience rocked by social change. College students drove the success of The Graduate and other films of New Hollywood that became touchstones for the Boomer generation coming of age. With Professor Hilary Hallett, we will discuss how The Graduate and other films of 1968 broke new representational ground and what they have to teach about that moment in the history of Hollywood and the United States.
