Autumn Spring — Thursday, March 1
A septuagenarian Czech retiree acts the prankster, much to the consternation of his practical-minded wife and their son, in this droll, deceptively easygoing film. It’s a sly, wry fable about the refusal to grow old that has poignancy as well as charm.

Second Journey's founder Bolton Anthony's varied career includes teaching English and creative writing to undergraduates and working as a public librarian and a university administrator. As social change activist, he was privileged to lead a year-long community effort to commemorate the Wilmington (NC) coup and racial violence of 1898 — an event which involved a coup d’etat, the “deportation” of the business and professional leadership of Wilmington’s black community, and the death of as many as 300 black citizens. He founded Second Journey in 1999.
Kay-Robert Volkwijn is an ordained Presbyterian minister (now retired) with a
avid, lifelong interest in films. A founding member of the Kansas City (MO) Film society in 1992, he enjoys seeing and discussing movies with others who share a similar passion. Recently, he led a discussion of Shadowlands at an adult education program at the Church of Reconciliation in Chapel Hill.
A native of South Africa, he was active in the anti-apartheid movement, especially on the issues of divestment and sanctions.
