Philosophy|Drink|Film series combines thought-provoking films, spirited conversation, and expertly crafted cocktails. Each film in the series is introduced by York College Professor of Philosophy Dennis Weiss and combined with a specialty cocktail mixed by Zoetropolis’ bartender and suggested by the film’s themes. Be sure to stick around after each screening to reflect on the film, sharing your insights and engaging in discussion with your fellow patrons.
Join us monthly for a lively combination of cinema, cocktails, and conversation.

What does it mean to live a good life? How do we reconcile our personal interests with our duty to others? Do the ends justify the means? What kind of person ought we to be? More than just philosophical questions, these are questions about how to live that regularly come up in movies.  Some of the best of them confront us with hypothetical scenarios that provide us with an occasion to reflect on our moral values and what it means to live a good life. Join PDF@Zoetropolis from January till April as we watch and discuss a series of films that explore what it means to live a moral life. If you like movies, are interested in opportunities for connection and conversation, and you find yourself wondering about what it means to be a good person, join us at Zoetropolis, the third Thursdays of the month, as we explore movies and our moral lives.
