Furman Fall Film Series Announces Upcoming Schedule

The long-running Furman Film Series saw a record Summer Series with Sarah's Key, Senna, Bob and the Monster, My Afternoons With Margueritte and The Debt and now returns for the fall of 2011 on the following dates:

October 6, October 19, November 3, November 17 & December 1 (all films are Thursdays except October 19th which is a Wednesday to avoid the holiday on the 20th)

October 6 brings a preview of The Women On the 6th Floor, a number one box office French hit set in 60's France, revolving around a bourgeois Frenchman whose life is turned upside down when he befriends a group of sassy Spanish maids a few floors up. This upstairs-downstairs comedy is already being compared to The Help!

October 19th brings a preview of Margin Call, a Sundance Film Festival favorite set in the high stakes world of the financial industry (and its collapse), featuring an all-star cast including Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Zachary Quinto, Demi Moore and Stanley Tucci.

November 3 brings Hot Coffee, the stunning Sundance Film Festival and HBO documentary by Susan Saladoff about how one infamous lawsuit allowed corporations across the United States to brew a concoction of manipulation intended to protect corporate interests and keep regular citizens out of the courts. Hot Coffee is a special presentation of a grass roots film hoping to make a difference by getting the word out.

November 17 & December 1 are traditionally held for movies from the year's Toronto Film Festival which plays September 8-18th. Programming will look to fill those dates with other high-quality releases.

Film begins at 7:30pm. Entry is 7:00pm for subscribers, 7:15 for ticket holders. Each screening has a Q&A with a notable personality after the film.

Tickets to the Gold Coast Furman Film Series are $15 ($20 at the door. $10 for students.) For more information call 516.829.2570 or go to www.greatneckarts.org/Film.htm. The series is held at Clearview Cinemas Great Neck Squire Theater at 115 Middle Neck Road in the heart of Great Neck.
