FILMS

CT regrets to announce that the International Film Series will be discontinued.

This year the International Film Committee explored various approaches to increasing attendance and broadening the appeal of the series.

• We chose a variety of films from many countries.
• We devoted one weekend to a single filmmakers with newly restored films from Jean-Pierre Melville.
• We selected one English language film.
• We explored a connection with a company called Emerging Pictures.

Unfortunately, none of these attempts proved successful. In 1954, when CT started the film series, the films it screened could only be seen in 35mm. Gradually these films have become more readily available without specialized equipment and rental services. Also, the advent of such new forms of distribution as NETFLIX and the wide availability of DVDs of foreign films the International Film Series no longer provides a unique service. As a result of these changes International Film Committee and the CT Board reluctantly decided that the series was no longer filling a need in the community and should be discontinued.

CT will, however, be showing the ever popular
2007 Academy Award Nominated Shorts - August 22, 23, and 24 2008
AND
All About Eve (1950) USA - February 21, 2009
