[rfu-automation] PSA Submission - Urbana Free

[Lisa R Redlinski]

*Three Alt Flix* at The Urbana Free Library
Offered as a sophisticated and eclectic antidote to the big-budget summer
blockbusters, Alt Flix is a series of three films, each one a deeply felt
and thought-provoking work of art. Each film will be briefly introduced by a
speaker, and, in the spirit of summer cinema, popcorn will be provided! The
screenings are free of charge and will take place at the Urbana Free
Library.

 6:30 - 6:45 Introductory Talk  6:45 – 8:15 Movie


A Simple Curve, July 17

Caleb has lived all 27 of his years amid stunning British Columbia
landscapes, but has come to resent both his surroundings and his idealistic
hippie father. The arrival in town of a successful family friend with big
business ideas prompts Caleb to re-evaluate his relationship with his
father, his ideals, and the town he has never left. An "elegant gem"
according to *Variety*. Introduced by Michael Pollock, film lover and
teacher of "US History in Film and Music" at Urbana High School.


Her Name is Sabine, July 24

This French documentary portrays Sabine, a 38-year-old autistic woman living
in a group home. Sabine was always "different" but functioned quite well
within the family setting until, in adulthood, an increasing propensity for
violence led to her being institutionalized. Winner of the FIPRESCI Award at
the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, one of whose judges call it, "the most
beautiful film Cannes has given us this year."


The Bothersome Man, July 31

Darkly funny and eccentric, this poker-faced Norwegian comedy tells the
story of Andreas, a bewildered everyman who finds himself newly arrived in a
sterile, unfamiliar city. Despite the welcoming nature of the locals and the
material successes he quickly enjoys, he cannot shake the sense that
something is not quite right. Hailed by The New York Times as "A surreal
nightmare of gleaming surfaces and razor-sharp edges." Introduced by Ben
Stephens, film critic and fiction writer.
