Through involvement in the Fox Cities Rotary Multicultural Center, I'm part of a committee that brings foreign films into the area for screening and discussion. Participation in this effort is natural for the public library. The predecessor to the current series was films on DVD shown here at the library, co-sponsored with a varieyt of groups, but the current series, with an organizing committee, using actual films in a theater, brings better quality showings and larger audiences.
We got a nice article about this in our paper, and I was glad of the opportunity to plug library collections. Because of market differences, our foreign film selection is better than video stores can offer, and our staff has developed an interesting and diverse collection.
Here's the newspaper article:
