Special Event Movie Night: 6:00-8:00pm

Join us for a Special Event Movie Night on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 from 6:00-8:00pm. We will be showing the film CODA, which won the Best Picture Academy Award in 2021.

“Seventeen-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones) is the sole hearing member of a deaf family — a CODA, child of deaf adults. Her life revolves around acting as interpreter for her parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and working on the family’s struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father and older brother (Daniel Durant). But when Ruby joins her high school’s choir club…[she] finds herself torn between the obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams.” This movie was filmed in Gloucester, Rockport, Beverly, and Boston, Massachusetts.

Rated PG-13 (111 min.) (2021) Free snacks will be provided. Movie times are approximate.

This special event is co-sponsored by Malden Reads and Malden Public Library. Pick up a copy of Malden Reads Season 14 book, Being Heumann by Judith Heumann at the Malden Public Library.

The previously scheduled film based on Alice Walker’s book, The Color Purple, is postponed and will be shown in May 2024. Please call the Malden Public Library at 781-324-0218 for more information.
