ArtStreet has created an event that will alleviate the issues surrounding the planning of a movie night: the Friday Film Series.

The Friday Film Series is an event started in Fall 2008 in which a different film is shown at 9 p.m. every Friday in the Studio B screening room at ArtStreet. Susan Byrnes, ArtStreet director, proposed this idea when she noticed that various groups use the screening room to show films.

"I wanted to start showing films on a regular basis that were free and open to all students and the general public," Byrnes said.

The types of movies shown on Friday nights vary depending on suggestions given by students and what is happening on campus or around the country.
