FCCB FILM FORUM

We’re entering the Lenten season, a time of reflection, preparation and anticipation. The FCCB Film
Forum revisits Defending Your Life (postponed from last fall due to an unfortunate uptick in COVID) on
Saturday, March 15, at 5:30 PM at the Glendale home of Jean and Peter.

Bring a ready-to-serve potluck dish to share, and we’ll meet for dinner, a screening of Defending Your
Life, and discussion. Come enjoy this delightful 1991 fantasy/comedy/romance starring Meryl Streep,
Rip Torn, Lee Grant, and writer/director Albert Brooks. Brooks plays Daniel Miller, a nervous Everyman
arriving in Judgment City after a fatal encounter with an oncoming bus and finding himself being
evaluated for the decisions that he made during his lifetime. It’s a gentle and funny yet surprisingly
meaningful meditation on themes of life, love, fear, and courage—timeless topics handled with a deft
touch. It’s also the perfect antidote for 2025, a year already rampant with anxiety and uncertainty.
Defending Your Life is rated PG and is pretty much all-ages appropriate.
 

Space is limited, so be sure to RSVP ASAP to Info@fccburbank.org for the address and directions and so
that you’ll be sure to have a seat.
Hope to see you for another of our evenings of food, folks, film, and fun!
