Screening Room Reservations

The Film Studies Center (FSC) maintains two screening rooms -- Cobb 307 and Logan 201. FSC events and CMS class screenings are given priority for these rooms. If space remains available, classes cross-listed with CMS will be provided a screening room. Only after that point can additional screening room requests be accommodated. 

If you are interested in potentially cross-listing your class with CMS, please contact Jane Bohnsack at jbohnsack@uchicago.edu. If you are interested in reserving a screening room as part of an event or for one class meeting, please contact Douglas Mclaren, FSC Assistant Director, at mclaren@uchicago.edu.
