Film folks, can anyone suggest films/scenes in which air conditioners feature prominently? In any form, but particularly interested in cases where the sound of air conditioning is noticeable. Ta!

We have a special screening of Dario Argento’s chilling 70s classic SUSPIRIA, a tale of witchcraft and deception set against a vivid, visually striking backdrop. We are so excited to welcome the bold, visionary filmmaker Gaspar Noé to introduce this film. edfilmfest.org/film/gaspar-no…

Are you an academic with research that includes an unusual interpretation of, or new way of thinking about, a book or painting that is considered a "classic"? If so I want to hear from you for a new series launching at The Conversation. Email is in my bio 💌
