The next event in Randolph Community College’s 2011-2012 Cultural Arts Series is the Groundhog Day Movie Night scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 2, in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center on the Asheboro Campus. The event, which begins at 7 p.m., is free and open to the public.
This project receives support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Join RCC’s Chad Conville, a graduate of the film studies program at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, for a screening, analysis, and open discussion of the one-of-a-kind, quirky comedy “Groundhog Day” (1993), recognized as a modern classic by the British Film Institute.
Even though you may have seen this film before, this event will help you view and understand several of the underlying themes that make it such a memorable and important film. The activities of a single day are not the only obstacles the protagonist Phil Connors (Bill Murray) must survive but also the daunting personal struggles of self realization, redemption, and finding the meaning of life. Approximate running time for the movie is 90 minutes.
Seating in the auditorium is limited, so go to www.randolph.edu/newevents/culturalarts.php to reserve your seats. RCC’s Asheboro Campus is located at 629 Industrial Park Avenue. Take the McDowell Road exit off of U.S. 220 Bypass/I73-74 and follow the signs.
