About the Film:

The Red Violin [1998 / François Girard]

A red-colored violin inspires passion, making its way through three centuries over several owners and countries, eventually ending up at an auction where it may find a new owner. The Red Violin greatly employs the use non-linear storytelling to convey a complicated but understandable story. The film also uses high, well-managed production value to create a very believable but imaginative world. The Red Violin is also a historical move covering multiple cultures and time periods from the 1680s in Italy to the 1990’s in Montreal. The Red Violin encompasses so many different aspects of world culture and history with a throughlineconnecting it all seamlessly, enhancing the elements of its cinematic properties and making it much more accessible for an audience to spend more time in an otherwise complicated movie.

The Aurora Film Society

Since 2018, the Aurora Film Society (AFS) has been broadening our community’s collective horizons by screening great movies together. For $70 a year, our subscribers are shown 12 carefully selected & curated movies, works that are historically important & groundbreaking, works that provide a window into far-flung cultures, works that are sometimes overlooked or unavailable to most audiences. The AFS puts a special emphasis on showing the sorts of luminous & idiosyncratic stories from beyond the mainstream that people of the Fox Valley area would normally not have a chance to see in a theatrical setting. We screen every third Wednesday of the month at The Venue.
