[Janet Barlow]

NOW THAT THE INDIANS ARE NO LONGER PLAYING BASEBALL...
and you're looking for a way out of having to dress up in silly costumes for Halloween Parties...
 
We have a suggestion of other ways to enjoy your weekend --
listen to wonderful jazz music and see an amazing film all here
AT STOCKER ARTS CENTER
 
 

The film is Tonight (October 26, 2007) 7:30pm

THE NAMESAKE

2007 (PG-13) 122 min. USA/India 
Director: Mira Nair
Cast: Kal Penn, Tabu, Irfan Khan, Jacinda Barrett

Mira Nair's THE NAMESAKE, based on the bestselling book by Jhumpa Lahiri, is a lush, beautiful film bursting with rich color and visual texture. It offers audiences an outlet into Bengali traditions and the immigrant experience while telling a universal story of family bonds which all parents and children should connect with.

"THE NAMESAKE brims with intelligence, compassion and sensuous delight in the textures, sights and sounds of life - all the way from the Taj Mahal to Pearl Jam" - Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

THERE WILL BE A DISCUSSION SESSION AFTER THE FILM.

Film Admission:
Patrons, except LCCC students/faculty/staff with valid ID, must purchase an annual membership in the LCCC Film Society for $3.00/each, which is good for the entire season (September through April). The admission price for each film is $5.00/ticket with your membership card.
