Aperture: A Discussion of Steamboat Bill Jr.
August 1
6:30-7:30 p.m.

Movies have a way of capturing our imagination and lodging in our memory like no other popular art form can.

August's selection is Steamboat Bill Jr.. In this silent comedy, college boy William Canfield Jr. reunites with his boat captain father in a Mississippi River town. Though he's flummoxed by Willie's citified appearance, the elder Canfield seems to have found an ally to help him compete with fellow riverboat owner John James King. Willie finds himself falling for King's daughter, but he has more pressing concerns when the weather turns bad and his father in arrested.

Steamboat Bill Jr. is available to be streamed for free on Kanopy (details available on the library website). Register by filling out the linked form, and you can either come to the library at the time of the event to participate in person, or connect virtually. Details will be sent to you.

We hope to see you there!
