WALLA & Friends of Library Film Series The films are screened on the second Monday of the month at 6:45 pm at the West Lafayette Public Library followed by a discussion. Librarian Erica Brown hosts the series. Free popcorn is provided. Monday, September 14 -“Water” The year is 1938, and Mahatma Gandhi's groundbreaking philosophies are sweeping across India, but 8-year-old Chuyia (Sarala), newly widowed, must go to live with other outcast widows on an ashram. Her presence transforms the ashram as she befriends two of her compatriots (Seema Biswas, Lisa Ray). Water is a 2005 Indo-Canadian film written and directed by Deepa Mehta, with screenplay by Anurag Kashyap. It is set in 1938 and explores the lives of widows at an ashram in Varanasi, India. “Water” is a dark introspect into the tales of rural Indian widows in the 1940s and covers controversial subjects such as misogyny and ostracism. (2005) 114 minutes PG-13 Monday, October 12 - “Dreams of Sushi” JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is the story of 85- year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious three-star Michelin Guide rating, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimages, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro’s sushi bar. (2011) 81 minutes PG Monday, November 9 - “Bernie” is a 2011 black comedy film directed by Richard Linklater, and written by Linklater and Skip Hollandsworth. The film stars Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine and Matthew McConaughey. It is based on a 1998Texas Monthly magazine article by Hollandsworth, "Midnight in the Garden of East Texas” that chronicles the 1996 murder of 81-year-old millionaire Marjorie Nugent in Carthage, Texas by her 38-year-old companion Bernhardt "Bernie" Tiede. Tiede proved so highly regarded in Carthage that, in spite of having confessed to the police, the district attorney was eventually forced to request a rare prosecutorial change of venue in order to secure a fair trial. ( 2011) 99 minutes PG-13 Monday, December 14 - “One Hundred Foot Journey” In "The Hundred-Foot Journey," Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant - the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. (2014) 122 Minutes PG AV Volunteers Needed No long term commitment is required and you can just try it for one semester. Some knowledge of wireless microphones and Windows 10 is helpful but not required. Training is available.

  • Skip Hollandsworth
    Skip Hollandsworth Feature By Christina Burke The lighthearted sound of sporadic bursts of laughter echoed around the room between hundreds of young guests as they quickly learned that Skip Hollandsworth was not afraid to say anything. “All first drafts are [expletive],” Hollandsworth said, quoting Hemingway. Hollandsworth, the executive editor of Texas Monthly magazine, has earned himself the title of one of Texas’ most prestigious writers. His never ending passion for writing has lead him to write hundreds of unique and effective articles such as Still Life, and also the recent screenplay Bernie. His latest challenge was to speak at a workshop full of high school Journalists from around the country, and he tackled this task with ease handing out great advice. “The stuff that makes us uncomfortable; that is what writing is about,” Hollandsworth said. Do not be safe. Do not write about the safe subJects. Do not write the predictable stories.” His humorous personality and obvious expertise was captivating to the room. He was not afraid to break down the reality of a successful writing career. “[The life of a writer] is a phenomenal contradiction,” Hollandsworth said. “There is the joy of being known as a writer, which is glorious, but then you have to go to your office and write, which is pure hell.” Hollandsworth never imagined himself being a writer. He learned how to write by imitating other writers, drew inspiration from what he knew was good writing and learned to use the rhythm of sentences. His passion for writing to tell people’s stories kept him interested.
