Library to Host World Cinema Thursdays


Tompkins County Public Library has announced the selection of “The Passenger” as the October featured film for World Cinema Thursday. The film will be screened October 19, at 5:30 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room-East.

“The Passenger” features Jack Nicholson as David Locke, a road-weary American journalist sent to cover a conflict in northern Africa. When he discovers the body of a stranger who looks like him, Locke assumes the dead man’s identity, only to discover that his doppelganger was an arms dealer being sought by police and criminals.

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.
