Events Calendar
The College of Central Florida is excited and proud to announce the 60th anniversary celebration of its International Film Series. While the official name has been changed to honor the series founder Ira Holmes, the now Ira Holmes International Film Series is true to its origins. Featured this year are classic films from 1962, the birth year of the series.
Out of an abundance of caution, the prescreening presentation and reception has been postponed, with a reschedule date to be announced, but the film screening will proceed at 7 p.m. inside the Dassance Fine Arts Center auditorium. Films at the Ocala Campus are free and open to the public. Showing will be followed by an online scholarly film talk each Wednesday at 12:30 p.m.
Films may contain mature content.
About the Film
Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time
portrait of a singer (Corinne Marchand) set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy. A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, “Cléo from 5 to 7” is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand (“The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”) and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina. Film Introduction by special guest Ira Holmes.
