The Washington Public Library will be hosting a pair of cinema events during their August event schedule. The first event will be a Teen Movie Matinee for all local middle and high school students showing the 2014 coming-of-age teen romance movie The Fault in Our Stars. The next film event will be the Classic Cinema Showcase of the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock mystery thriller Rear Window starring Grace Kelly and James Stewart.

Library Director Cary Ann Siegfried spoke with KCII about the library’s selection process when it comes to picking films for these events. “For the classic cinema, we have a group of classic cinema fans that come every month, so we usually consult with them to pick out the movies. Our teen movie is actually something that is being put on by our high school students that work for us.”

The Teen Movie Matinee will be on Monday, August 15th at 4:30 pm and the Classic Cinema Showcase on Friday, August 19th at 6:00 pm, with both screenings happening inside the Washington Public Library.
