Film Club and Final Meeting

Our last meeting of the term will be held sometime in the first week of December after our film screening. What’s this about a film screening, you say?

The NFB Film Club has offered some documentaries for free screenings at public libraries and we have chosen the following:

Islet/Îlot  (animation)

Vanishing Point –  2012,  82min (with English subtitles)

The screening will hopefully be held at VPL Central and the meeting will take place in some pub or coffeeshop afterwards. Everyone is welcome! The nitty gritty details will follow soon!
