Reel to Real: Focus on Film Fall 2007 Schedule
Hello! I am a fellow film enthusiast and as a member of the Peoria area Reel to Real film organization, I would like to promote our film series and I hope you will tell your friends about us too. Something that might set us apart from a film at a regular movie theatre is that we provide a speaker after the film for a short presentation followed by discussion (Q&A)…then we have a short social gathering after the film with food and refreshments (FREE). We should be selecting our films for the Spring later this month. We hope to see some of your films this year too! Thanks. Here is our Fall 2007 Schedule:
A moderated discussion and social hour with refreshments follow each of our films. We meet on the Bradley University campus in the auditorium of the Caterpillar Global Communications Center.
$5.00 Adults / $4.00 with Student ID. For questions, call 339‐3001 or email: r2rfocus@yahoo.com
September 22nd
Tampopo
Winner of 5 awards. This gastronomic "noodle western" is an episodic
venture of a restauranteur determined to create the best possible noodle for the best possible noodle eatery. Consumed with quirky characters and their own respective obsessions, it is a surreal fusion of ribald imagery that is obstinately Japanese and a cheeky lampoon on the Leone "spaghetti westerns." Directed by Juzo Itami, 1985 Comedy, Japanese with subtitles.
October 20th
Elevator to the Gallows
In his mesmerizing feature, Director Louis Malle brought together the beauty of Jeanne Moreau, the camerawork of Henri Decaë, and a now legendary score by Miles Davis. A touchstone of the careers of both its star and director, Elevator to the Gallows is a richly atmospheric thriller of murder and mistaken identity unfolding over one restless
Parisian night. 1958 Film Noir, French with subtitles.
November 10th
Nowhere in Africa
One family’s tale of a homeland lost and a homeland found.
Oscar winner that received 17 other international film awards. A love story spanning two continents, Nowhere in Africa, is the extraordinary true story of a Jewish family who flees the Nazi regime in 1938 for a remote farm in Kenya. Directed by Caroline Link. 2001 Drama, German with subtitles.
December 1st
Joyeux Noel
Nominated for an Oscar, another 2 wins and 8 nominations.
On Christmas Eve 1914, numerous sections of the Western Front called an informal, and
unauthorized, truce where the various front-line soldiers of World War I met peacefully with each other in No Man's Land to share a precious pause in the carnage. This film dramatizes one such unique event. 2005 French with subtitles.
