The College of Central Florida Ira Holmes International Film Series will host two screenings this month: “Victoria & Abdul” on Tuesday, Jan. 17, and “Parasite” on Tuesday, Jan. 31.
Starring Academy Award-winner Judi Dench, “Victoria & Abdul” is a 2017 U.K. film that chronicles the true story of an unlikely friendship between an aging Queen Victoria and a young clerk from India.
“Parasite” is a 2019 South Korean film, directed by Academy Award-winning director Bon Joon-ho, that’s been called his “pitch-black modern fairytale.” The story of two families – one wealthy and one who provides luxury services to them – explores topics of generational greed and class prejudice.
Both screenings will begin at 2 p.m. at the Appleton Museum of Art, 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd., and at 7 p.m. at the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road, Building 8, Room 110. Films at the Ocala Campus are free and open to the public. Films at the Appleton are free to all museum and film series members; nonmembers pay museum admission. Films may contain mature content.
