Celebrate Jane Austen's birthday with a screening of a film adaptation of one of her novels, Emma.
Novelist Jane Austen was born on December 16th, 1775. Celebrate with us 247 years later at the Southwest Library with a free screening of the 2020 Film, Emma, directed by Autumn de Wilde based on Austen's well-loved book.
The film is rated PG and runs 124 minutes. This is open to patrons of all ages, but is most suited for adults.
From Swank, "A headstrong, high-spirited, and privileged young woman severely overestimates her matchmaking abilities as she meddles in the romantic lives of people in her small and sleepy English town during the 1800s. Hard-won knowledge about the intricacies of love compels her to reconsider her vow never to marry."
