JCCV FILM NIGHT

Monday, February 27^th at 7:00 pm

“TWIN SISTERS (De Tweeling)”

The JCCV Film Night crew is proud to announce the Victoria premiere of the Academy Award nominated movie “Twin Sisters”. Original Release: 2002 The Netherlands. Director: Ben Sombogaard. From the Novel by Tessa de Loo. This thoughtful film accentuates “the Grey” of wartime tales.

Anna and Lotte are twin sisters tragically separated when their father dies unexpectedly. Anna is taken in by a poor rural German family and looks to a better future through the promise of National Socialism. Lotte is adopted by a well-off Dutch family and is engaged to a Jewish musician. Their lives follow different and opposite paths. Attempts at contact are thwarted by their families.

Will there be a reunion/reconciliation? Is there too much water under the bridge?

One of the best of the Dutch Cinema!

Please join us for a fun evening of cinema…schmoozing…discussing and generally having a good time! State of the Art projection on the new large screen & great sound system!

Popcorn and cold drinks included in the $10 price of admission.

Always a classic cartoon or two prior to the feature! Doors open at 6:30 PM.
