MONDAY, December 23, 2024 at 7 P. M. in the North Reading Room
The IFC Club, which meets on the fourth Monday of each month, is celebrating its eighth anniversary of engaging conversation. All are welcome to attend to explore the modern classic selected.
Oradell Public Library hosts a film discussion group, modelled on our two successful book discussion groups, the Morning Book Club and the Evening Book Club. The IFC (Independent * Foreign * Classic) Film Club meets on fourth Mondays of the month.
The IFC Film Club meets every fourth Monday of the month at 7 p. m.
The film chosen for the next meeting on Monday, December 23, 2024, is Downfall (Der Untergang, 2004), an international film recounting the last days of Adolf Hitler, played by Bruno Ganz, in the bunker during the Battle of Berlin at the end of World War II in Europe, drawn in part from the memoir of his last private secretary Traudl Junge.
If you are interested in attending and participating, please watch the film on your own before the session.
There is also an opportunity to help decide with your fellow cineastes (film buffs) what independent, foreign, or classic films you would like to choose to discuss.
The program is free and open to anyone interested, so join us in the North Reading Room of the Library for the next meeting.
The Day of the Jackal: Book vs. Film
On Monday, July 23, 2018 the IFC Film Club discussed The Day of the Jackal (1973), a political thriller, directed by Fred Zinnemann and based on the 1971 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth, about a professional assassin known only as the “Jackal”, who is hired to assassinate French president Charles de Gaulle in the summer of 1963.
IFC Film Club Members Kathy Hughes and Chris Hasselkus provided this comparison of the book and film.
