DURHAM, NC July 11, 2022— The Carolina Theatre of Durham will host its RetroClassics Film Series from July 22 to July 24.
RetroClassics features monumental foreign language and English-speaking films that stretch as far back as 1922’s “HÄXAN” up to 1985’s “Brazil.” The films included in the series also span a wide variety of genres with epics like “Metropolis” and “Seven Samurai,” arthouse films like “Badlands” and “Aguirre,” and critically-acclaimed commercial pictures including “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Slaughterhouse-five.“

Prepare to shriek, gasp, giggle, and be inspired by a collection of some of the greatest films in motion picture history.” says Jim Carl, Senior Director of Film at the Carolina Theatre of Durham.
