We have screenings on the second Sunday of each month. We
screen films you won't find at the big cineplexes: documentaries,
indie films, foreign films, and other little gems that don't get wide
release.
Our screening for this month, on Sunday, Jan. 14 at 6 pm, is the
My Donkey, My Lover & I (France 2020, 1 hr. 37 min., French with
English subtitles). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com:
"Antoinette, a school teacher, is looking forward to her long planned
summer holidays with her secret lover Vladimir, the father of one of
her pupils. When learning that Vladimir cannot come because his
wife organized a surprise trekking holiday in the Cévennes National
Park with their daughter and a donkey to carry their load, Antoinette
decides to follow their track, by herself, with Patrick, a protective
donkey."
All of our screenings are followed by lively discussion about the
film. We'd love to have you join us. The Lodge Theater has very
limited seating, so if you're interested in our screenings, come early.
We hope to see you there. Please note that all films announced are
subject to availability. If you have any questions about the Counter
Culture Cinema Club or want to recommend a film, please email

Classic Film Group will be showing the first Academy Award winning
movie in The Lodge Theater on Jan. 23 and Feb. 6 at 6 pm.
The first Academy Awards was held at the Roosevelt Hotel in
Hollywood in 1929 and the host was Douglas Fairbanks. The best
picture went to Wings, the only silent movie to have ever won the honor.
The film stars Clara Bow, Charles "Buddy" Rogers, and Richard Arlen.
It's a story of two young men — one rich, one middle class. Rogers
and Arlen play World War I combat pilots in a romantic rivalry over a
woman.
The Wednesday Western Matinee is on Jan. 10 at 2 pm. We will be
showing a classic movie staring John Wayne in his first full-length
movie e Big Trail from 1930. No great trail was ever built without
hardship. ~ Paul Plamondon, 4seasonsmoviegroup@gmail.com
