August’s film is “Playground” from Belgium. The everyday reality of grade school is seen from a child's-eye-view as an obstacle course of degradation and abuse. Following 7-year-old Nora and her big brother Abel, we see Nora struggling to fit in before finding her place on the schoolyard. One day, she notices Abel being bullied by other kids, and though she rushes to protect him by warning their father, Abel forces her to remain silent, while he endures more humiliation and harassment by his peers. Running time is 72 minutes. All films are shown in the original language with English subtitles. World Wide Cinema is MPL’s free monthly film series of first-run independent and foreign films. Screenings are held the second Friday of each month in the library’s fourth floor Cooper Room. Doors are open from 6:15 - 6:45 and the film starts at 6:30, late entry is not allowed. Attendees must enter from the library’s parking garage, all other doors are locked.
