What Film Changed Your Life?

BC
Block Cinema
The Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University

As part of Block Cinema’s 25th anniversary, we invite filmmakers, artists, scholars, alumni, students, and audience members to reflect on a deceptively simple question: What film changed your life?

Your answer might be a celebrated classic, an obscure documentary, a childhood favorite, or a film you encountered at exactly the right moment. We want to hear how cinema has shaped the way you see yourself or the world around you.

Please begin by introducing yourself and sharing your connection to Northwestern, The Block, or film more broadly. Then name the film that changed your life and tell us why.

Please keep your response to 60–90 seconds. You might begin:

“My name is _____, and the film that changed my life is…”
