Film aficionados unite!
Movie buffs can sign up for a Film Appreciation Series on Orson Welles or Pre-Code Hollywood, before censorship took hold.
Sign up by Feb. 20.
Classes are free for library patrons, but they must register to get class materials. Classes will meet through Zoom, and codes are needed.
Owen Field
Instructor Owen Field, a Southwestern High School graduate, will teach the classes.

THEY SHOWED THAT!?!? Pre-Code Hollywood will be held on Wednesday nights from March 1 to April 5 from 6:30 to 8:45 pm.
All classes meet by Zoom; patrons will need a code for the Zoom classes.
Students will watch an assigned film before each class session, and discussion takes place during class. All titles will be available in the library for short-term checkout. Links to films online will also be provided.
Check the library website for the lists of films for each class.
To register, email Michael Daniels at mdaniels@sscpl.lib.in.us or sign up in the library to receive Zoom credentials and course materials.
