International Films
Today's film: Lake Tahoe (In Spanish with English subtitles, 81 minutes)
In this film from Mexico, Juan crashes his family's car into a telegraph pole on the outskirts of town, and then scours the streets searching for someone to help him fix it. His quest will bring him to Don Heber, an old mechanic whose only companion is Sica, his almost human boxer dog, to Lucia, a young mother who is convinced that her real place in life is as a lead singer in a punk band, and to "The One Who Knows," a teenage mechanic obsessed with martial arts and Kung Fu. The absurd and bewildering worlds of these characters drag Juan into a one-day journey in which he will come to accept what he was escaping from in the first place. Enjoy popcorn during the film and casual conversation afterward. Call for information, 243-9721.

Author Visit: Louis Arthur Norton
Meet Louis Arthur Norton, professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut.

In Captains Contentious, maritime historian Louis Arthur Norton observes that many of the captains of the Continental Navy were quite obstinate as compared to their British counterparts. In doing so Norton surveys the lives and military accomplishments of five captains in the nascent Continental Navy, investigating how their personality flaws both hindered their careers and enhanced their heroics in Revolutionary War combat. This psycho-historical approach brings to life the idiosyncratic personalities of John Manley, Silas Talbot, Dudley Saltonstall, Joshua Barney, and that most quarrelsome of characters, John Paul Jones. Norton's fast-paced account of intertwining naval actions also serves as a maritime history of the was as experienced by these men. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Call 243-9721 for information.
