The Friends of the Library subsidize the public viewing license and the audience's donations provide the films which then go to the library's film collection. Most films are shown closed captioned.
Films are screened on Fridays at 7:00 pm in the Large Meeting Room. Free and open to all.
December 10 The Secret in Their Eyes Argentina, 129 minutes
Academy Award Winner 2009 Best Foreign Language Film
This absorbing film is a mystery, a crime drama, a study of obsession and/or passion, and ultimately a quest for truth and justice. A retired criminal court investigator decides to write a novel based on a twenty-five-year-old unresolved rape and murder case which still haunts him.
The Secret in Their Eyes is a solid film that will fascinate you.
December 17 Avatar 162 minutes
This sci-fi epic, a simple parable about greedy colonizers attempting to despoil the lush tribal world of Pandora, merges computer animation with live acting. Despite clunky dialogue, the director’s love of destructive gizmos clashing with his flower-power idealism, and predictable plot, Avatar “hits a giddy delirium all its own…The film itself is our Pandora, a sensation-saturated universe only the movies could create.”
See what all the fuss was about this year.
