Staatsburg Library –  Film Club
Join us at the library as we watch and discuss a different film each month! What happens when a filmmaker stops pretending the camera is objective, and just starts thinking out loud? The word “essay” comes from the French essayer, “to try,” and that’s exactly what this month’s films do. We’re screening Roswell (Bill Brown, 1994), a wry short that wanders from UFO lore into memory, landscape, and American myth, as an opening act for The Gleaners and I (Agnès Varda, 2000), one of the most beloved essay films ever made. No film background required, just come ready to wander and wonder right along with Agnès and Bill. Part of our five-month series exploring the outer edges of nonfiction cinema. Next month, on October 15, we’ll explore the weird and poetic world of experimental documentaries. Please share with anyone you think might like to join us. See you at the library!
