The Center is at 103 Meadowlands Drive in Hillsborough. The film is free (and so is the popcorn). \nWooden Crosses is a distinguished film not often seen in this country\, considered one of the two or three best films about the First World War. David Blakeslee\, writing in 2010\, said about it\, “No one who has ever seen this technical and emotional powerhouse has been able to forget it.” Professor Max Owre will be leading the discussion. Max is Executive Director\, Carolina Public Humanities at UNC. He is a fierce advocate for the public humanities and a great friend of the Classical Film Society; he has been helping us out since the very first season with Battle of Algiers in 2019\, Grand Illusion in 2020; Lacombe\, Lucien in 2022\, and Au Revoir Les Enfants in 2024. If you’d like more information about the film\, visit our website\, hillsboroughclassicfilms.com; there is a great deal of information there\, including links to reviews and to trailers; we recommend especially the 1970s interview with the director\, Raymond Bernard. \n Again\, Wooden Crosses will be shown at the Passmore Center on February 2 at 2 p.m. If you would like to attend\, please sign up before 3 pm Friday\, January 31\, by calling the Passmore Center at 919 245-2015 or by going to our website. The staff of the Passmore opens the Center’s doors and provides help for the Society on the weekend when they are normally closed\, but they need to have some indication in advance that the audience will be large enough to justify the expense.

It’s in Canadian French\, with English subtitles. There will be an introduction before the film and a discussion afterwards. As always\, the film and the popcorn are free. \nIf you would like to attend\, please sign up before 3 pm\, December 13th\, by calling the Passmore Center at 919 245-2015 or by going to our website: \n      hillsboroughclassicfilms.com. \nThe Passmore opens its doors and provides help for the Society on the weekend when they are normally closed\, but they need to have some indication in advance that the audience will be large enough to justify the expense. Please sign up if you are thinking of coming. \nMon Oncle Antoine is set in the asbestos region of Quebec. The action takes place during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in a period just before the Asbestos Strike of 1949 and nearly a decade before the beginning of the Quiet Revolution that turned Quebec from a conservative\, church-dominated province\, with a deadly asbestos mining industry largely in the hands of English-speaking outsiders\, to a secular social democracy tending toward separatism. \nAlthough it is not well known in this country\, Mon Oncle Antoine is listed as the greatest Canadian film of all times in a number of polls\, including three of the Sight and Sound polls\, and has won a number of Canadian and international awards. Roger Ebert included it on his 2008 list of the greatest movies.
