Comments(0) A new movie, though, is taking on that stereotype. “Hollywood Librarians,” a documentary, takes scenes from movies that involve librarians – scenes that usually portray them as harsh, mousy, mean, angry, too focused, boring or sexless – and mixes interviews with real-life librarians.
It is probably the first time any film has focused on the profession.
If you haven’t seen it, don’t feel left out. Practically no one’s seen it yet. It won’t premiere until next week, during Banned Book Week, in selected locations around the country. In Fort Wayne, the movie will be shown at 8 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Gunderson Auditorium in Achatz Hall at the University of Saint Francis.
