Cinematique is back! Join us for the first Cinematique at Jengo's screening with the film that started it all- Citizen Kane! Join us for the kick-off of the re-imagined Cinematique, hosted by WHQR and the Cucalorus Film Foundation. Stay after the 4pm matinee or show up early for the 7:30pm screening to enjoy the Cinematique Social Hour from 6pm-7:15pm in the Jengo's Bar (we'll provide the snacks!) After the second screening, Todd Berliner, Professor of Film Studies at UNCW, will discuss the profound impact Orson Wells' film had on filmmaking.Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.
