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.

October 1: The Farewell (2019, PG, 100min, English and Mandarin with English subtitles)

Based on an actual lie. Lulu Wang’s heady and mischievous family portrait features Awkwafina as an aspiring writer who rides an emotional rollercoaster when her extended family orchestrates an impromptu wedding as a pretext for gathering with her terminally ill grandmother.
