I Was Born But… (生まれてはみたけれど)

Directed by Yashijuro Ozu, with Tatsuo Saito, Tomio Aoki, Mitsuko Yoshikawa, Hideo Sugawara (Japan―1932). In the 1930s, a lower middle-class family composed of father, mother and two young sons has just moved to a suburb of Tokyo. The brothers initially have problems adapting to the other children in the neighborhood, but they eventually become leaders of their gang. Their father is an office clerk, and he behaves in a servile matter, flattering his boss. One night, the boys discover their father’s behavior, and lose respect for him. This film is a social satire that draws from antics of childhood, as well as the tragedies of growing up. Japanese intertitles with subtitles. Silent. (100 min.)

Free.

Over the Moon Ovations: Gatherings that Inspire the Passions, Creativity and Wisdom of Women in the Second Half of Life

24 Jan 2009 22:00:00 GMT

Meadows Branch Library
Saturday, January 24, 2009, 3 – 5pm

Share your passions, gifts, skills, and endeavors with others connected by life stage and diverse in origins, background, and worldview. We gather monthly to connect informally, in small group circles, and as an appreciative audience for presenters. Presentations are about some form of creative expression and the life journey that led to that expression. It is the richness of that life journey that adds depth and value to each presentation. It is the authentic conversations and discussions that add meaning to each gathering.

January: “The Obstacle Course: Pitfalls, Detours, and Peaks in an Artist’s Life” with versatile visual artist Joan Wolbier. Come hear how Joan’s artistic path has taken many different twists, and participate in an art activity to discover your own artistic talent.

This program is supported by the Boulder Public Library.
