Film FOCUS

An Independent Film Festival @ Your Library

The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library continues its ever-popular Film FOCUS, an independent film festival, scheduled every Thursday now through an extended date of April 2, 2009.

The Library’s presentation of independent, first-run feature films is scheduled at 6:45 p.m. on Thursdays in Main Library’s McMaster Center, 325 Michigan St.  The next presentation is this Thursday, March 19 – Gone With the WOMAN, a witty comedy about a man’s encounter with a beautiful but unusual woman.

Additional film dates include: March 26 – Frontrunners, a documentary which follows the race for student council at one of the country’s most prestigious public high schools – Stuyvesant High School in New York City; and April 2 – Wendy and Lucy, a powerful award-winning film about Wendy and her dog Lucy’s experience of hard economic times. The film addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of U.S.-American life.

All Film FOCUS showcases are free and open to the public and are recommended for adults, but some films may contain strong language, sexual content, or violence. These films are not subject to rating by the Motion Picture Association of America. For more information, please call 419.259.5207.
