Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents Film Forum Coronado, taking place on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterward, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

On Wednesday, September 2, at 6 p.m., the featured film will be Animal Crackers (1930, G, 97 min).
