Film Movement Collection

Did you know the Smyrna Library subscribes to the Film Movement series of DVDs?

Film Movement scours the world's top film festivals each year including Cannes, Sundance, Toronto and New York to select the best, award-winning films from among thousands of qualified entries. Selections are approved by our panel of Curators who come from such prestigious film institutions as Lincoln Center, the American Film Institute and Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival.

This month's selection is Troubled Water. This is an award winning Norwegian film about a man released from prison after serving time for the murder of a child. Tension builds to a great climax when the child's mother runs into him playing the organ at a church.
