Rosebud Returns

RosebudThe Rosebud Film Group Opens the 2005-06 Season on September 9 with a showing of Since Otar Left at 7:30 pm in Fagerberg Bldg. #70

Roger Ebert says, "'Since Otar Left" tells a story of conventional melodrama, and makes it extraordinary because of the acting. The characters are so deeply known, so intensely observed, so immediately alive to us, that the story primarily becomes the occasion for us to meet them. Nothing at the plot level engaged me much, not even the ending, which is supposed to be so touching. But I was touched deeply, again and again, simply by watching these people live their lives."

The Rosebud Film Group is an informal organization at Northwest College which welcomes film viewers to attend its frequent Friday night screenings throughout the academic year. There's no club to join or no need to attend regularly--come when a scheduled showing interests you.

Each season's film list includes international films, film classics, documentaries, some new releases, and off-beat experiments. You get the idea: these are not films that are likely to be shown in local theaters. Instead, these are films that appeal to viewers who appreciate the craft of filmmaking and unpredictable stories and characters.

Details about the 2005-2006 Rosebud Film Series are available in two places: on the Northwest College Calendar or by personal e-mail notification. To see the weekly calendar, go to "CALENDAR" on the home page of Northwest College's website at www.northwestcollege.edu. To receive regular e-mail notifications about Rosebud showings, send a message to Richard.Wilson@northwestcollege.edu.
