The CF Ira Holmes International Film Series continues its 60th anniversary season with “Ivan’s Childhood” on Tuesday, Feb. 22.

The World War II film is Andrei Tarkovsky’s debut feature and remains one of the most unforgettable depictions of the impact of war on children.

The film will be shown at 2 p.m. at the Appleton Museum of Art, 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd., and at 7 p.m., at the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road, Building 8, Room 110.

Special guest Peggy Dates will introduce the film at the 2 p.m. showing. An extensive world traveler and international film screening devotee, Dates has assisted the film series for more than nine years and is integral to the series’ success.

On Wednesday, Feb. 23, at 12:30 p.m., Del Jacobs, author of “Interrogating the Image: Movies and the world of Film and Television” and “Revisioning Film Traditions: The Psudo-Documentary and the New-Western,” will host an online film talk and question and answer session on Zoom.
