Beginning next Sunday, the library will be, how you say, screening free movies, excuse me, films for adults (grown-ups that is, not the other kind of adult movies).
When: Sunday April 29 at 1:30 PM Premier Film: A Simple Curve (Canada)
From the library web site :
"The Monona Public Library has begun a partnership with Film Movement. Film Movement scours the world's top film festivals each year including Cannes, Sundance, Toronto and New York to select the best, award-winning films from among thousands of qualified entries. Selections are approved by Film Movements panel of Curators who come from such prestigious film institutions as Lincoln Center, the American Film Institute and Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival."
Also showing in the Spring Series:
Sunday May 6: Familia (Canada)
Sunday May 20: Monster Thursday (Norway)
All showtimes are at 1:30 PM
In the words of Inspector Clouseau (Steve Martin), "do you mind, I am trying to watch the flim"!

This is a cool idea, but Saturday afternoons? in the spring? That's such a busy time and if the weather is nice, I don't think the turnout will be very good. Winter would be a better time to pilot this, so I hope if attendance is low, the library will consider trying again next winter.
ReplyDeleteThey are on SUNDAY afternoon. We'll see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteSat/Sun = same problem. Maybe lots will come, but I hope it will be tried again next winter if not.
ReplyDeleteWhen I wrote 'SUNDAY' I wasn't suggesting that would make a big difference in turnout (which was indeed low). Rather, I wanted to make sure anybody reading this would know the films are in fact on SUNDAY.
ReplyDeleteThe series will indeed also be tried in the Fall.
