IFC Film Club
MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2018 at 7 P. M.
The IFC Club, which meets on the fourth Monday of each month, is celebrating its fourth 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 film chosen for the next session on Monday, December 17, 2018 (third Monday to void closing on Christmas Eve8) is Open Your Eyes (Abre los ojos, 1997), a film, directed by Alejandro Amenábar, with intersecting planes of dream, memory, and reality, remade as the American film Vanilla Sky (2001).
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 come to the North Reading Room for the next meeting.

The Day of the Jackal: Book vs. Film
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.

We now make available to the public the Robert Milli Collection of films on DVD, which are housed in a separate shelf at the beginning of the regular first bank of DVDs on the lower level. The collection specializes in classic films, especially film noir.
Robert Milli, the stage, film, and television actor, who has appeared in a number of presentations at Oradell Public Library, donated his collection to the Library earlier this year.
