This is a public performance rights (PPR) showing and is recommended for viewers 18 and older.

Join us for screenings of a variety of programs from around the world. All movies have English subtitles. Monthly programs have a new day: fourth Tuesday of the month. Screenings begin at 1:45 pm, after a short introduction.  Plan to arrive at 1:30 to meet other attendees, and so as not to miss the film introduction. Tea will be served after the showing for conversation to continue. We will choose films from the Kanopy program, which can be accessed with a library card.

Learn more about the film content available with your library card by visiting the Kanopy website.
