The IFC Club, which meets on the fourth Monday of each month, is celebrating its eighth anniversary of engaging conversation. All are welcome to attend to explore the modern classic selected.
Oradell Public Library hosts a film discussion group, modelled on our two successful book discussion groups, the Morning Book Club and the Evening Book Club. The IFC (Independent * Foreign * Classic) Film Club meets on fourth Mondays of the month.
The IFC Film Club meets every fourth Monday of the month at 7 p. m.
The film chosen for the next meeting on Monday, August 26, 2024, is Swept Away... by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August (Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto, 1974), usually shortened to Swept Away, an Italian romantic adventure comedy drama, written and directed by Lina Wertmüller, starring Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato in which a wealthy woman whose yachting vacation with friends in the Mediterranean Sea takes an unexpected turn when she and one of the boat's crew are separated from the others and they become stranded on a desert island.
If you are interested in attending and participating, please watch the film on your own before the session.
There is also an opportunity to help decide with your fellow cineastes (film buffs) what independent, foreign, or classic films you would like to choose to discuss.
The program is free and open to anyone interested, so join us in the North Reading Room of the Library for the next meeting.

On Monday, July 23, 2018 the IFC Film Club discussed The Day of the Jackal (1973), a political thriller, directed by Fred Zinnemann and based on the 1971 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth, about a professional assassin known only as the “Jackal”, who is hired to assassinate French president Charles de Gaulle in the summer of 1963.
IFC Film Club Members Kathy Hughes and Chris Hasselkus provided this comparison of the book and film.
