You'll enjoy all-time favourites like "West Side Story" (the original, from Robert Wise) and Roman Polanski's "Chinatown," great comedies from Billy Wilder ("Some Like It Hot") and Preston Sturges ("The Palm Beach Story"), and two of the most highly acclaimed movies ever made: Orson Welles's "Citizen Kane" and "Tokyo Story" by Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu, as well as more great movies from the likes of Hitchcock and Kubrick, John Huston, and John Ford. Experience live piano accompaniment for silent films, Buster Keaton's "Sherlock Jr." and "The Blot" by Lois Weber. The festival also includes the Sunday lunchtime film talk, free admission for young people 25 and under, and free popcorn all weekend. Films begin screening at 3 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
