Duck Soup runs May 10 at the Snoring Sasquatch.

A second series of Cine Club Creston presentations is set to run at the Snoring Sasquatch. This series of movies will take a look at comedy being used to make a political statement.

Four movies have been chosen with an anti-war theme. Spanning four decades, the lineup includes Duck Soup (1933) at 6:30 p.m. May 10, To Be or Not to Be (1942) at 2:30 p.m. May 27, Dr. Strangelove (1964) at 6:30 p.m. June 14 and MASH (1970) at 2:30 p.m. June 24.

Cine Club Creston is run by Jean-Paul Buckens and Renee Kyle, who have run cinema clubs for several years at various venues from local colleges to their own living room. Their passion for movies dates back to their own university studies.

For those who would like the chance to learn more about movies and have an opportunity to discuss them the cine club discussion group is for them. A cinema club is much like a book club — except instead of each member reading a book separately, everyone gets to view the movie together. Discussions will occur before each showing, as well as online.

Cine Club Creston started with “A Look at Classic Comedy”, which featured the films Bringing Up Baby (1938), Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) and The Party (1968).
