Screening Mimis Film Club Will Premiere May 1

Beginning in May, the new Screening Mimis Film Club will meet the first and third Tuesday of every month at 3 p.m. in the Scott Pavilion at the Pasadena Senior Center, 85 E. Holly St., to watch provocative films followed by lively discussions.

Classics, film noir, cult films, documentaries, shorts, foreign films, animated films and more will be selected democratically by club members. Each screening will be researched and its hidden history presented prior to each viewing. Popcorn and other refreshments will be provided.

The first film on Tuesday, May 1, will be “Ramona” (1936, NR) directed by Henry King and starring Loretta Young and Don Ameche. A young woman who is half native American and was raised by a wealthy family falls in love with a native American employee of the household, and he with her, against both families’ wishes.

Anyone 50 and older is invited to join the club for only $5 a month. You do not have to be a member of the Pasadena Senior Center to attend. For more information about the club or to join, email mmeovary@aol.com.
