Welcome to our Friday Night Film Discussions! Today we’ll be discussing “My Father’s Glory", based on the bestselling memoirs of French novelist, playwright and filmmaker Marcel Pagnol (the acclaimed author of Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring).

The way it works:

PRIOR to the meeting (whenever works for your schedule), watch "My Father’s Glory" on Kanopy - one of the library's video streaming service - and then come to the meeting prepared to discuss!

You will need an Ashland library card or a Boston Public Library e-card to use Kanopy. Click here for more info on the BPL e-card (see if you are eligible and then register - you can use any of BPL's online resources with this card!).

Synopsis: 

At the turn of the twentieth century, 11-year-old Marcel (Julien Ciamaca) accompanies his parents, Joseph (Philippe Caubère) and Augustine (Nathalie Roussel), on a life-changing holiday to the Provence countryside. During these magical summer months, he befriends a local boy, who shares with him the secrets of the rugged hills, while learning newfound respect for his gentle schoolmaster father.
