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.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Viet Thanh Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:Join the Coronado Public Library as we welcome Pulitzer Prize winner Viet Thanh Nguyen. He’ll discuss his newest title To Save and To Destroy\, a moving\, personal meditation on otherness and a call for political solidarity\, with Lily Hoang. Originally given as a series of Norton lectures\, these captivating essays earned a starred review from Library Journal as ‘[a]n essential addition for collections about the process and theory of writing\, authors of diverse backgrounds\, and particularly the experiences of Asian Americans\, immigrants\, and refugees in the United States.” \nA book-signing will follow. This event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, subject to availability. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of To Save and To Destroy through Warwick’s bookstore. Please visit https://www.warwicks.com/nguyen-2025-reserved-seat or call the store at 858-454-0347 for more information. \n\nAbout Viet Thanh Nguyen \nViet Thanh Nguyen is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer\, Nothing Ever Dies\, and\, most recently\, To Save and to Destroy. A recipient of the MacArthur Foundation and Guggenheim fellowships and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, Nguyen is Aerol Arnold Chair of English and Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. \nAbout To Save and To Destroy \nBorn in war-ravaged Vietnam\, Viet Nguyen arrived in the United States as a child refugee in 1975. The Nguyen family would soon move to San Jose\, California\, where the author grew up\, attending UC Berkeley in the aftermath of the shocking murder of Vincent Chin\, which shaped the political sensibilities of a new generation of Asian Americans. \nThe essays here\, delivered originally as the prestigious Norton Lectures\, proffer a new answer to a classic literary question: What does the outsider mean to literary writing? Over the course of six captivating and moving chapters\, Nguyen explores the idea of being an outsider through lenses that are\, by turns\, literary\, historical\, political\, and familial. \nEach piece moves between writers who influenced Nguyen’s craft and weaves in the haunting story of his late mother’s mental illness. Nguyen unfolds the novels and nonfiction of Herman Melville\, F. Scott Fitzgerald\, Ralph Ellison\, William Carlos Williams\, and Maxine Hong Kingston\, until aesthetic theories give way to pressing concerns raised by war and politics. What is a writer’s responsibility in a time of violence? Should we celebrate fiction that gives voice to the voiceless–or do we confront the forces that render millions voiceless in the first place? What are the burdens and pleasures of the “minor” writer in any society? Unsatisfied with the modest inclusion accorded to “model minorities” such as Asian Americans\, Nguyen sets the agenda for a more radical and disquieting solidarity with those whose lives have been devastated by imperialism and forever wars. \nAbout Lily Hoang \nLily Hoang is the author of eight books\, including most recently A Knock at the Door (Texas Review Press’s Innovative Prose Series)\, Underneath (winner of the Red Hen Press Fiction Award)\, A Bestiary (PEN/USA Non-Fiction Award finalist)\, and Changing (recipient of a PEN/Open Books Award). She is a Professor of Literature at UC San Diego\, where she teaches in their MFA in Writing.
