The Public Library Downtown continues its popular film series Flick’s Cafe with “Films of the ’80s” on Tuesday. First up is “Jean de Florette,” based on a novel by Marcel Pagnold.
The award-winning tale follows a city man who inherits a rural farm from his mother but is shunned by his new neighbor. Rated PG, the two-hour film is presented in French with English subtitles.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for coffee and desserts. Films will begin at 6:30 p.m. after library Director David Clapp gives the audience a film review and the reasons he selected the film for inclusion in the series.
The downtown library auditorium, aka Flick’s Cafe, will be accessed from the library’s 11th Street entrance on Tuesday nights during the film series. The cafe setting allows movie patrons relaxed, comfortable seating.
Admission is a suggested donation of $1. Coffee and desserts will be priced separately. All proceeds will be used to buy new materials for the library’s fine-arts collection.
