Start the new year with "Calendar Girls" (2003, 2 hrs. 12 min.) at Skidompha Library’s “Movies Just For Us” on Monday, Jan. 5. This winner of the 2003 British Comedy Awards stars Helen Mirren and Julie Walters.

After the death of her best friend’s husband from cancer, spirited Yorkshire housewife Chris Harper hatches a scheme to raise money for a memorial to him.  Utilizing a tradition from the Woman’s Institute association, Chris encourages Annie and their friends to create a calendar — using the middle-aged women of the village as nude models — stunning the husbands and the photographer.

The story is based on a true story of a group of Yorkshire women who produced a nude calendar to raise money for Leukemia Research under the auspices of the Women’s Institutes in April 1999.

The screening of "Calendar Girls" will be at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 5 in Skidompha Library’s Porter Meeting Hall, accessed by the library’s back Elm Street entrance. A suggested $5 donation will help the library expand and maintain its film collection. For more information, call the library at 207-563-5513 or visit the library’s website at www.skidompha.org. The next scheduled film will be The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre on Monday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m.
