IFC Film Club
MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2019 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 16, 2019 (a third Monday to avoid Hannukah) is It's a Wonderful Life (1946), an American fantasy drama, with a harsh glimpse at an idyllic world turned hellish, produced and directed by Frank Capra, made popular as a winter holiday film through its association with Christmas, on the eve of which the film concludes.
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.
