Join a group of fellow movie lovers virtually for an in-depth discussion of a different film selection each month! Films will range from the latest cutting-edge titles to classic Hollywood, and everything in between. Prior to the meeting, watch selected movies on Kanopy--available for free with your PWPL library card, and the discussion will be hosted virtually on Webex.
Film for the August 3rd meeting will be "Stories We Tell" (2012): https://www.kanopy.com/en/pwplva/video/6517239
Synopsis: "In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar®-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story." (The National Review Board of Canada - per IMDB)
"Official Selection at Venice Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and Toronto International Film Festival.”
