Lake Forest College

Explore the art of cinema through the lens of legendary directors John Ford and Akira Kurosawa—join Lake Forest College professor Dr. Janet McCracken for this exciting new community engagement series.
Close Up: Considering the Aesthetics of Film Through the Works of John Ford and Akira Kurosawa
Registration fee: $250 for the five-week series Registration deadline: Monday, May 18
Course times:&nbsp;Thursday evenings, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Course dates:&nbsp;May 21, May 28, June 4, June 11, June 18
It’s hard to find a director that hasn’t been influenced by John Ford, whose classics like Stagecoach (1939) and The Searchers (1956) helped define the look and feel of American cinema. Across the globe, Akira Kurosawa was creating equally important and influential works such as Rashomom (1950) and Seven Samurai (1954)—films that continue to inspire directors today.
Held at the newly renovated Glen Rowan House, this five-week course will explore the art of filmmaking through selected works by these two titans of the film medium, and discover how movies communicate emotion, ideas, and meaning through images—and why their films still matter today. The opening and closing sessions will begin with a social reception featuring food and refreshments.
Both the educational content and social receptions will offer opportunities to build community, engage with College leadership, and learn more about ongoing campus initiatives.

History Center of Lake Forest-Lake Bluff

<h5>A part of our Cornerstones of History lecture series.&nbsp;</h5>
Laurie Stein, Deputy Director and Head of Curation at the History Center of Lake Forest–Lake Bluff, explores the early settlement of northeastern Illinois with a focus on Lake County and the communities of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff.&nbsp;
Stein examines who the region’s early homesteaders were, what drew them here, and how they laid the groundwork for the communities we know today. Tracing the area’s transformation from the hand-hewn log homes and roadside taverns of the 1830s to the platting of Lake Forest in 1857, this program follows the shift from frontier settlement to planned community, culminating in the rise of elegant estates and a new business district.

Casablanca is a timeless story of love, sacrifice, and doing what’s right when it matters most.
We meet Rick Blaine, a guarded nightclub owner in the bustling city of Casablanca during World War II. He keeps to himself. He avoids politics. And he believes sticking his neck out for no one is the safest choice.
Then everything changes.
Ilsa Lund walks into his club. With her comes a past Rick thought he’d buried. Their connection is immediate. Complicated. And impossible to ignore.
At the same time, danger surrounds them. Refugees seek escape. Authorities close in. And choices carry real consequences.
As tensions rise, Rick is forced to confront who he is—and who he wants to be. He must choose between love and something greater.
Along the way, the film blends romance, suspense, and unforgettable dialogue. It captures the weight of sacrifice and the quiet courage of standing up for others.
Ultimately, Casablanca reminds us that even in uncertain times, our choices define us—and love, in all its forms, endures.
