The Meaning of Life is in Laughter
For the fifth summer running, the much-loved SNFCC program Park Your Cinema brings you a selection of classic movies, to either discover for the first time, or enjoy anew on the big screen.
July’s screenings set the tone with laugh-out-loud comedies at the SNFCC’s Great Lawn. At testing times for humanity, cinema has served as the perfect means of escape, encouragement and companionship. The first few months of 2020 went beyond anything that we have experienced as a civilization in several decades. And, ironically, they kept us away from the cinema. But movies are still out there… And laughter is what we need the most today. Let’s share it, once again, out loud!
Program Coordinator: Ilias Frangoulis
Woman of the Year (1942)
She’s an international affairs correspondent, he is a sports’ writer. They work on the same newspaper, but resent each other through their columns. They will meet, fall in love at first sight and… get married! Can a marriage between two workaholics last? The ultimate romantic comedy with substance (it received an Oscar for the best original screenplay) on the war of the sexes. Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy (an eternal couple in real life) set the screen on fire with their love.
Director: George Stevens
