Free Admission | Thursday November 12 - 7:00pm CST | Iran | 1997 | 95 min | 14A | Abbas Kiarostami
What is a pattern story and how can we make use of repetition without sacrificing intrigue and surprise? This is a two-part workshop. The first part is the viewing of Abbas Kiarostami’s award-winning film Taste of Cherry (1997). We will watch the film together in the RPL film Theatre on the 12th of November. The following Thursday evening, we will come together again, this time to consider how the film’s protagonist, Mr. Badii, tries once, twice, and a third time to achieve his objective. This film screening is part of the Writer in Residence’s Writing in Community series.
The RPL Film Theatre screens the best of world cinema – up to 15 films a month. The Film Theatre has “something for everyone” and is the only cinema in the city to consistently present critically-acclaimed contemporary and alternative cinema: Canadian, foreign and independent films and documentaries.
For more than 50 years, Regina Public Library (RPL) has played a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city of Regina and surrounding areas. In the mid-60s, interest in a permanent venue for film enthusiasts grew into a program at the Library – a co-operative effort between the local Film Council and the National Film Board of Canada. A landmark year for the cultural, multi-cultural and surrounding business communities was 1975, the year the RPL Film Theatre was officially launched.
