The cinema is not a slice of life...
it is a piece of cake.
--Alfred Hitchcock

Presented by the Auburn Library, the movies are shown at 2 and 7 p.m. in the Beecher Room of the library, 350 Nevada St. in Auburn.
Silver Screen started as a project of the Auburn Arts Commission in 1996,and became independent in 1999. In 2008, the LIbrary adopted the program. It's a labor of love -- a lot of work, and a lot of fun. It's the only way to see these movies on film on a big screen in Auburn.
The series would be impossible without the help of many in the community --
especially Mark Parker, Placer County Director of Library Services,
and Vance Sauter of Golden Triangle Publications. Thanks very much.

The movie’s 40 years old but you still remember the way it made you feel, and who you were with, the first time you saw it. Or you have a favorite Humphrey Bogart line that you can’t get out of your head. Or you’ve just discovered a star who lived and died long before you even learned to walk -- and you find that you just love those classic movies from that golden age.
