About this Event

The Penguin Lessons (2024)
Running time: 110 minutes

Director: Peter Cattaneo

Starring: Steve Coogan, Jonathan Pryce, and Vivian El Jaber

Inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in an all-boys boarding school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.

Join us in Auditorium on the second floor. There is an elevator available. Admission is free. Informal discussion after the film, time permitting.

Registration is not required but encouraged for reminders! Please call us at 416-395-5672 or visit the reference desk on the first floor of the North York Central Library for more information or if you have any questions.
