Film Series

The Hudson Strode Program’s Shakespeare Film Series, started in 2014, aims to bring the Strode community of students, faculty, and staff together with members of the Tuscaloosa community by screening Shakespeare adaptations and related films either on campus or at the Bama Theatre. The film selections range from popular movies like 10 Things I Hate About You to classical adaptations like Richard Burton’s Hamlet.
