Library to Host World Cinema Thursdays

Tompkins County Public Library has announced the selection of “Seconds” as the September featured film for World Cinema Thursday, September 7, at 5:30 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room-East.

Showcasing Hollywood icon Rock Hudson at his finest, “Seconds,” tells the story of a middle-aged banker willing to undergo a strange and elaborate procedure to escape the monotony of his suburban life. With brilliant work from award-winning cinematographer James Wong Howe and masterful directing from John Frankenheimer, “Seconds” offers a thrilling science-fiction-inflected peak into the fractured 1960s.

Facilitated by Ron Krieg, World Cinema Thursdays offer a monthly opportunity for movie lovers to watch and discuss world cinema classics. These free programs will be held on the third Thursday of each month through December 2017.

Krieg, a Queens native, is a retired United States Postal Service clerk and a cinema, photography, history and political science enthusiast. He has been presenting films at Lifelong of Ithaca for six years.
