IFC Film Club
MONDAY, JUNE 22, 2020 at 7 P. M. TO BE HELD VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM
The IFC Club, which meets on the fourth Monday of each month, is celebrating its sixth 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 (virtual via Zoom) on Monday, June 22, 2020 at 7 p. m. is Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948), the drama, directed by Max Ophüls and based on the 1922 novella by Stefan Zweig, featuring a years-long romantic obsession.
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 online for now and come to the North Reading Room for the next meeting after the Library reopens.

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.
