The Big Book Club opens its 2026/27 season with a deep dive into Daniel Kehlmann's International Booker-shortlisted novel The Director. MRU Professor Emerita and film-lover Kelly Hewson leads the discussion, unpacking the book's real-life inspiration — Austrian director G.W. Pabst — and how art survives under a dictatorship. Expect curated Calgary International Film Festival movie recommendations and a CIFF ticket door prize, plus time for audience questions.
