SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film: "The Search"
DESCRIPTION:“The Search” – A Mother’s Day Story of the Indomitable Love of a Mother Determined to Find Her Lost Son \n \nSunday\, May 11 at 1 PM\, the 2025 “War That Shaped Our World” CIFF Student Classic Film Series continues with director Fred Zinneman’s “The Search\,” the story of “The Lost Children of Europe.” “The Search” features the Oscar nominated first feature film appearance of Montgomery Clift and a Special Juvenile Academy Award winning performance by nine-year old Ivan Jandl. The Search is also noteworthy as American immigrant\, Austrian-born Jewish director Fred Zinnemann’s first box office success and as perhaps the first Hollywood feature film dramatizing the consequences of The Holocaust. \nFollowing the War\, orphaned children are moved to a United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation camp in Germany. During an interview to determine his identity a young boy named Karel\, separated from his mother at Auschwitz\, is only able to say in broken German: “I don’t know.” While being transported to a second camp\, some children panic. Karel and another boy escape by jumping in a river. As Karel’s companion drowns\, Karel reaches the riverbank\, but when only a hat is recovered UN officials presume he has drowned. Simultaneously\, the audience learns his mother\, Hanna\, has survived the death camps and is searching for her son. While hiding in the city’s ruins Karel encounters an American soldier\, “Steve” Stevenson (Montgomery Clift) who becomes determined to help the boy. Convinced his relatives are dead\, Stevenson works on a plan to take Karel to the U.S. when his tour of duty ends in hopes of adopting him. The dramatic narrative intensifies as circumstances conspire with a mother’s indomitable love to resolve the drama: Will these two Holocaust survivors be reunited as mother and son? \n \nDirector Fred Zinnemann lost both parents to the Holocaust. In this documentary-style post-war feature\, he creates a realistic cinematic account to dramatize the real-world plight of hundreds of thousands of orphaned children struggling to survive and the compassionate people working to help redeem their post-war lives. Nominated for three Oscars in 1948 including Best Best Director for Zinnemann\, “The Search” is a movie you will never forget. \nThe complete 2025 Student Classic schedule and reservations are available on the CIFF website under the “Year-Round” dropdown tab. The screening is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film Series "The Best Years of Our Lives"
DESCRIPTION:The Best Years of Our Lives – “I don’t care if the film doesn’t make a nickel. I just want every man\, woman\, and child in America to see it.”  \nThis is a special Memorial Day screening. It is FREE and open to the entire community. Bring the entire family! \n“I don’t care if the film doesn’t make a nickel. I just want every man\, woman\, and child in America to see it.” Thus spoke MGM Studio head Samuel Goldwyn in 1946 as this masterpiece he produced was released. This first post-war feature film from legendary director William Wyler went on to win a then unprecedented seven Oscars\, including Best Picture and Best Director. It was honored with an additional special Oscar for disabled vet Harold Russell’s performance as Petty Officer Home Parish for ”bringing aid and comfort to disabled veterans through the medium of motion pictures.” \nAfter the attack on Pearl Harbor\, even though Oscar winning director William Wyler was 40 years old and exempt from the draft\, he volunteered and served with distinction in the US Army Air Forces. Discharged as a LtCol in 1945\, Wyler’s time with the 8th Air Force left him permanently hearing impaired and uncertain of his prospects to return to his career directing movies in Hollywood. Of his wartime experience Wyler observed\, “The only thing that mattered was human relationships … relationships with people who might be dead tomorrow were important.” Returning home to Los Angeles\, he searched for the right story to tell in his return to the director’s chair. After Wyler read McKinlay Kantor’s Glory for Me\, a story of challenges faced by war veterans coming home\, he told MGM Studio Boss Sam Goldwyn\, “This is what I want to make.” \nThe Best Years of Our Lives tells the story of veterans returning from war more movingly\, hopefully and beautifully than any other motion picture in Hollywood history. The film captured the atmosphere of post-WWII America. Its enormous critical and commercial success confirmed this was THE story post-war audiences needed to see in the wake of the deadliest and most destructive conflict in human history; the story of the war’s impact on returning veterans and its impact on their relationship with home and family. \nDo not miss this perfect Memorial Day “table setter.” CIFF’s FREE screening of The Best Years of Our Lives will be presented Sunday\, May 25 at 1 pm in the Library’s Winn Room. Bring your family and invite your friends to share this beautiful Oscar winning classic.

SUMMARY:CIFF Classic Film "The Godfather" (1972)
DESCRIPTION:Coronado Island Film Festival will bring one of the greatest and most influential movies ever made to the big screen at Coronado’s Village Theatre on Wednesday\, May 28. Doors open at 4:45 (early\, due to the length of the film) for a complimentary glass of wine\, with the feature to start promptly at 5:30. Tickets are $15 and are available now at coronadofilmfest.com. \n“The Godfather\,” released in 1972\, was based on the 1969 bestselling novel written by Mario Puzo\, who co-wrote the screenplay with the film’s director\, Francis Ford Coppola. Their efforts won the 1973 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. \nIt was nominated for eleven Oscars total\, winning three. In addition to Best Screenplay\, it was named Best Picture and Best Actor for Marlon Brando. \nThe film’s amazing ensemble cast includes Marlon Brando\, Al Pacino\, James Caan\, Richard Castellano\, Robert Duvall\, Sterling Hayden\, John Marley\, Richard Conte\, and Diane Keaton. Pacino\, Caan and Duvall received Supporting Actor nominations\, and Coppola was nominated as Best Director. From the start\, this movie was resoundingly successful with critics\, with audiences\, and at the box office. \nFrancis Ford Coppola was 32 years old and relatively unproven as a director at the time. Paramount Pictures questioned and complained about many of his decisions\, worried about budget\, the schedule\, and Coppola’s unusual directorial style. They even hired another director to observe him on the set. As it turned out\, he finished on time\, under budget\, and the rest is history. \nWith the very skilled Coppola at the helm\, members of the ruthless Mafia Corleone family became the “good guys” to us. We knew them and rooted for them (as opposed to their equally ruthless Five Mafia Family rivals). With this film\, the new “gangster genre” of film and television was born and apparently here to stay. There surely would have been no Tony Soprano if Vito Corleone and Family had not come first. \n“The Godfather” is a masterpiece. It gets everything right: a gangster flick overflowing with life\, rich with emotion\, stunning cinematography\, spot-on writing\, perfect music\, and brilliant acting. And\, of course\, there’s Francis Ford Coppola. \nCIFF is pleased to bring a classic film to the big screen in your neighborhood theatre every month\, always on the last Wednesday. Mark your calendars now for a hilarious change of pace as we present the beloved comedy\, “Moonstruck” on June 25. Tickets for it and the entire lineup are available in advance on our website at coronadofilm.com.
