Lewiston-Auburn Senior College will partner with the Auburn Public Library again this year to present uplifting films from across the continents.  Expect cinematic excellence, breathtaking scenery, and insights into human nature across cultures, so different yet so universal.  

A half-hour discussion will follow each movie and will be facilitated by Mary Jane Beardsley and Judy Hierstein. Mary Jane and Judy have always liked to travel, but when you can't get there in person, visiting through film is the next best thing!
