Spring Film Series Mixes Up Old and New

Every Wednesday, local cinephiles can enjoy great old and recent films, a pre-film lecture and post movie discussion for just $5.

 

The film series at the Petaluma campus of the Santa Rosa Junior College is back with great selections and a post screening discussion to boot. Every Wednesday evening, cinephiles can kick back, enjoy a film, then discuss it with a resident film expert all for just $5.

The series started in January with Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, but will also feature plenty of older flicks including Peter Bogdanovich’s The Last Picture Show (February 6), a nostalgic yet surprisingly modern look at a group of small town high school seniors finding their way into adulthood in the 1950s.

If you’re a fan of Jean-Luc Godard, check out “Breathless,” screening February 13, a sexy, experimental homage to American film. Jean-Paul Belmondo stars as a young petty thief who after shooting a police officer seeks sanctuary with a young woman selling American magazines.

Missed Anna Karenina’s brief run in the movie theaters? You can catch it here on February 27. The film is an adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s 1877 novel and earned four Oscar nominations this year including Best Cinematography and Production Design.

The spring series is put on by the Petaluma Film Alliance. Movies are screened at the Carole L. Ellis Auditorium on the Petaluma campus of the Santa Rosa Junior College. 680 Sonoma Mountain Parkway.

We have failed our kids who are now in their 20s. The jobs they should have are not there and no oneRead More seems to care. What you are seeing is the underground economy, which is how they survive. No, it's not good, but it is how they are surviving. Talk to your Congressional representatives! They want real jobs and real lives!

I worry so much for our children! I hope that the economy turns around before the drugs take hold ofRead More our young vibrant youth. Thank you for your sobering thoughts on what I have been a witness to.
You are fun!

I think that showing The Hunger Games in this venue is a mistake. These outdoor family film showingsRead More do attract families, and frequently families with younger children. It would be close to child abuse to permit a younger child to watch this movie. Not so sure it would be a good idea for teens either. I believe that this choice was not well thought out. I hope it can be changed to something that would be beneficial for all ages to see. For example, I recommend a film called "Like Stars on Earth" directed by Aamir Khan. A very moving and thoughtful film.
