Ciné will host this year’s OLLI Summer Film Festival over the course of July and August. OLLI is short for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, a program affiliated with the University of Georgia that is dedicated to offering noncredit courses and learning programs to adults over 50 who wish to pursue education later in life. This is a member-led organization, and has been in operation since 1994. There will be five individual screenings throughout the remainder of the summer, with this year’s festival theme spotlighting actor Paul Newman. The series launched last week with Sweet Bird of Youth. The second film, Sometimes a Great Notion, will be screened on July 18. The third film, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, will be shown on July 25. Absence of Malice will be screened on Aug. 1. Finally, Road to Perdition will conclude the series on Aug. 8. All screenings will begin at 2:30 p.m. on each showing day. Registration is now open to the public, and attendees can register for the event on OLLI’s website at olli.uga.edu.
