FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2015 39
Counter Culture Cinema
If you need a break from the
big summer blockbusters, the
Counter Culture Cinema Club
has twice-monthly screenings
of movies you may not find
at your Cineplex: indie films,
foreign films, documentaries,
etc. Check us out!
Our first July screening,
on Sunday, July 12 at 6 pm, is
the film Life Itself (USA 2014,
120 minutes, English). Here
is a brief description from
Amazon.com: "Life Itself is a documentary film that recounts
the inspiring and entertaining life of world-renowned film
critic and social commentator Roger Ebert, a story that is by
turns personal, funny, painful and transcendent. Based on his
bestselling memoir of the same name, Life Itself explores the
legacy of Roger Ebert's life, from his Pulitzer Prize-winning
film criticism at the Chicago Sun-Times to becoming one of the
most influential cultural voices in America."
Our second July screening, on Sunday, July 26 at 6 pm, is
the film The Cobbler (USA 2014, 99 minutes, English). Here
is a brief description from IMDB.com: "Max Simkin repairs
shoes in the same New York shop that has been in his family
for generations. Disenchanted with the grind of daily life, Max
stumbles upon a magical heirloom that allows him to step
into the lives of his customers and see the world in a new way.
Sometimes walking in another man's shoes is the only way one
can discover who they really are."
All of our screenings are followed by lively discussion about
the film. We would love to have you join us. The Lodge Theatre
has very limited seating,
so if you're interested in
our screenings, come early.
We hope to see you there!
