Sept. 9, marks the 28th season of FLICS, which is a volunteer organization that shows international films at the Fox Theater every other Friday, and occasionally Saturdays, at 7:30 p.m. from September to May.

Everyone from the board of directors, to the website designer, the distribution of fliers, and the people working at the event are all volunteers.

A lot of the films FLICS show are foreign films that require reading subtitles, but there will also be a few films in English this season.

The English films will also include subtitles for the hearing impaired. All the films are story driven that include a wide variety of genres.

Phil Neufeld, president of FLICS, said, “FLICS is not everyone’s cup of tea, but you’re in for something different if you attend.”

Anybody can attend FLICS, including children and teenagers.

However, according to the FLICS website, the films shown are best enjoyed by mature individuals who are not easily offended.

According to Neufeld, opening night for the last season of FLICS housed 1,100 people.

An average of 400 people showed for the movies overall, and the average age of an attendee was 40.

Opening night begins at 6:30 p.m. and includes punch, wine, and snacks.

The film marking the beginning of the season is called “La Prima Cosa Bella,” an Italian comedy.

Admission is $5 and season passes are available for $50. For more information visit http://www.flics.org.
