Greetings fellow film fans:
The free Sundries of the World Foreign Film Series continues on Sunday
at 7 p.m. at the Albany County Public Library with the Ingmar Bergman
film "Face to Face" (Ansikte mot ansikte, 1976, Sweden).
In "Face to Face", Liv Ullmann plays Dr. Jenny Isakson, a psychiatrist
who attempts suicide. While hovering between life and death, she
imagines she sees all the people who've been influential in her life,
and rails against them for causing her neuroses. In Swedish with English
subtitles, rated R, running time 114 minutes.
This series is sponsored by the Albany County Public Library and the
Laramie Film Society. For more information about the foreign film series
visit the LFS web page (http://film.laramie.wy.us/#latestnews) for
ratings, reviews, longer synopses of each film and a schedule of
upcoming films in this series.
Admission to this entire summer film series is free, and so is the pop
and popcorn.
The Laramie Film Society is about to do some fund-raising. If anyone out
there knows a person, business or organization which might be willing to
make a $250 tax-deductible donation to LFS so we can we can show more
good movies in Laramie, let us know (you can't respond to this email,
but you can find my email address at the bottom of the LFS web page at
http://film.laramie.wy.us/
Our fund-raising goal is $1,000.
The James Bond Fan Club will screen GoldenEye (1995), starring Pierce
Brosnan at Hastings' Hard Back Cafe (654 N. 3rd, next to Kmart) on
Thursday, November 20th. Free popcorn and cafe drink samples. For more

Tonight (Thursday, Nov. 6) Is the last night to see "Gone Girl" in
Laramie. It should get some Academy Awards nominations.
Bill Murray could get another Oscar nomination this year for his
performance in the heartwarming comedy "St. Vincent." Tonight is the
last night for that one, too.
Opening tonight in Laramie is a much-anticipated science fiction film,
"Intersteller," directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matthew
McConnaughey. Fans of Nolan (who directed the recent "Batman" trilogy)
should love this film, others, less so. Early reviews indicate this film
rates a B.
Also opening on Thursday evening is an animated science fiction film
"Big Hero 6". Early reviews indicate this rates a "C Plus" and it may be
a bit emotionally intense for younger children.
Opening on Halloween, "Nightcrawler" sounds like a horror film, but it
is actually a psychological drama with some heavy action scenes. This
acclaimed film is getting some Oscar buzz. The story is about a
psychopath (Jake Gyllenhaal of “Prisoners”) who becomes a successful
freelance video journalist.
The Laramie Film Festival, featuring local films, is scheduled to begin
at noon Saturday, November 15 at the Gryphon Theatre in the Laramie
Plains Civic Center, 8th and Garfield.
The program will include longer feature films during the day and a
series of short films during the evening hours. At 6:30 p.m. there will
be a filmmaker meet and greet and reception Short film program begins at
7:30 p.m.
One film being mentioned for this festival is "Seeds of Time" by Sandy
McLeod, sponsored by Big Hollow Food Co-Op.
