Movie at the Library: Field of Dreams

What better way to celebrate summer than a look at “the nation’s pastime” in feature films? In this series, we’ll view four of the best of the almost 200 movies that have been dedicated to telling the story of this most defining of American sports. Each film is introduced by area cinephile Ann Glenn with info about the film’s production, director, actors, and followed by a lively Q&A session.

Field of Dreams (1989)
This fantasy drama, a 1990 Best Picture Academy Award nominee, tells the story of an Iowa farmer who hears voices telling him to build a baseball diamond in his corn field. When he does, some unreal things start to happen. A valentine to the sport that, in the words of critic Roger Ebert, “stands for an earlier, simpler time when professional sports were still games and not industries.”
