Library Cultural Film Screening @ Java Vino

The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., offers a vast selection of the award-winning cultural films. Join fellow film enthusiasts to preview some of this collection as JavaVino, 424 Main St., hosts free screenings on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 5-7 p.m. JavaVino offers appetizers, wine and coffee for purchase during the film. Participants are encouraged to then visit Downtown Racine's finest restaurants for dinner.

September's film selection is Hawaii, Oslo, a film from Norway, directed by Erik Poppe. Five stories of love are interwoven in Oslo, during the hottest day of the year. Touching the lives of each story's characters is Vidor, who sees things no one else can see.

Winner of the 2005 Norwegian Film Critic's award, this film has been called "a colorful mosaic of unusual human stories" and "one of the best films to come out of Norway in years."

Because these films are not rated, the Racine Public Library is unable to recommend them for children under age 17.
