2009 Theme: Time Capsule 1969
 
Movies offer us a snapshot view of the past – of history – of culture – of issues that dominated the discussions of the day. Whether the films are frivolous or meaningful, by watching films from a specific period, we may come to a better collective understanding of that era and perhaps our own. This series will extend over the Spring and Fall slate of films. In the Spring, we looked at American films from 1968-69. Some of these movies may seem like old friends; others you may be seeing for the first time. This Fall, we open the time capsule for films from around the globe.
