Event Details

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

September 3: Rope (1948, PG, 81min)

Alfred Hitchcock’s first color feature is an audacious, highly charged technical marvel. Two elitist prep school mates (Farley Granger, John Dahl) plot to commit an “immaculate murder“ when they throttle a former classmate. Their former headmaster (Jimmy Stewart) uncovers their dark secret.

PLUS:  Master of Suspense (2013, G, 10 min)
Alfred Hitchcock returns to the Bates Motel - but why! Fabrice Mathieu’s tour-de-force mashup fashions Hitch’s cameos from 30 of his films and trailers them together with clever editing, special effects, and a new sound design inspired by Bernard Hermann.
