FOR member Steve Whiteman's free course in the appreciation of classic film will be back for its fourth year in 2010.

The group will meet twice a month, on the evening of the first and second Saturdays. Both nights are nearly full but there are still a few seats available, so APPLY NOW! The movies will be recognized classics, the majority from Hollywood's Golden Age - the 1930s and 40s - and the rest from other eras or other countries. Programs will include a cartoon and/or short subject; coming attractions; the feature film; and clips and commentary on personnel, techniques, and relevant popular culture, with discussion interspersed. Books and films will be prizes in the regular trivia contests. For the rest of 2009 a few seats will probably be available to see individual films. To check on the availability of drop-in seats, to apply for 2010, or to be put on the mailing list, email Steve at classic.film@yahoo.com.

Please note: Our usual location at NWUUC was flooded and has a mold infestation and is therefore unavailable this month and probably for many months to come. We are looking for a new place and/or time for this FORum. Details forthcoming.

Join us for FOR's incredible monthly meeting!
