Foreign Film Showing - note new date for this month only!

Claire's Camera: La caméra de Claire

In French with English subtitles.

"A refreshingly sunny performance from Isabelle Huppert is at the center of this comic charmer from South Korean Master Hong Sang-soo. Huppert plays Claire, a school teacher with a camera (that might be magical) on her first visit to Cannes. She happens upon a film sales assistant, Man-hee (Kim Min-hee), recently laid off after a one-night stand with a film director (Jung Jin-young).

Together, this unlikely pair become detectives of sorts, as they wander around the seaside resort town, working to better understand the circumstances of Man-hee's firing—and developing new outlooks on life in the process.

Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival." - Kanopy

The film runs one hour, eight minutes.

The library has a large selection of DVD's that you can browse. From the link, you can search by language. For print materials, see the languages available in our World Languages collection.

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.
