SCREENINGS
 
 
 
 

Out-of-Print Film Screening:
The Time We Killed (2004)
Dir. Jennifer Reeves
1/11 2pm
Main Library
 
Richmond Public Library will screen Jennifer Reeves' out-of-print debut, The Time We Killed. Images from the past and present push an agoraphobic artist into taking action. Reeves blends experimental and documentary film techniques to create a wholly unique anti-war film as relevant today as it was in 2004. This film has only screened publicly a handful of times in its 20-year lifespan.

Found In Translation Book Discussion
1/20, 6:30pm
Main Library - Gellman Room

For January, we'll be reading and discussing Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin. 

Found In Translation meets every other month to discuss books originally published in a language other than English. By focusing on works outside of the English-speaking tradition, we have the chance to explore different cultural contexts and a broader range of literary voices. With Found In Translation, you can expect to cultivate curiosity, tease out nuance, and uncover surprising truths about yourself and your place in the world!
