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.

August 16: Mandala (Korean with English subtitles, 1981, 117 min)

Im Kwon-taek asks profound questions about spirituality, the futility of existence and the transcendence of the self in this elegant and lyrical tale of two monks with different ideas of enlightenment who meet, part, argue and perhaps understand each other on their individual walk towards Nirvana.
