A conversation with the CAB Movies Coordinator
By Bridget Lavin ’18

THE SPECTATOR: What do you plan on changing about CAB Movies this semester?
Nelly Green ’18: I wanted to try different movies, like throwbacks with The Breakfast Club this past weekend, and double features, which I’m doing for our last date of the year with Sisters and Zoolander 2. I also want to try different ways of attracting people to movie events, be that through special food offerings or contest ideas.
What are your hoping to achieve with these changes?
NG: I really want more people to come to the movie events. I’d also like to bring people who’ve never been to movie events. Maybe it’s because they didn’t know about them, didn’t see a movie they liked, or didn’t have incentive to go. I want to offer a vast array of movies so hopefully someone will see a movie they are really excited about and finally come, or come back.
What are you most excited for this semester as CAB Movies Coordinator?
NG: I’m a huge movie person, so I’m excited to try and bring my love of movies to this position and to these events. I’m excited for the movies we’ve got lined up this semester because there’s such a variety and I haven’t seen some of them. I like being involved in CAB because I like having the opportunity to bring some cool programming to a campus I love (as completely corny as that sounds).
Is there anything else readers should know about your plans for CAB Movies?
NG: Well, you should probably know when they are! Each film plays at 7p.m. on Fridays and 2p.m. on Saturdays in KJ Auditorium. Looking forward, our schedule as planned is:
February 5 and 6: Suffragette (How can you go wrong with Meryl Streep?)
February 12 and 13: The Danish Girl
March 4 and 5: Room (This is one I’m hella excited about)
April 14 and 15: Creed
April 22 and 23: Sisters and Zoolander 2 (DOUBLE FEATURE!!!)
