The Chestnut Hill Film Group is showing “A Man Escaped” on Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. at Woodmere, part of its Tuesday Nights at the Movies series. This 1956 film (101 minutes), in French with English subtitles, is Robert Bresson’s minimalist masterpiece and follows a French Resistance fighter plotting his escape from a Nazi prison. Inspired by a French Resistance member’s memoir, the film shows how discipline, patience and faith can be tools of survival against oppressive forces. Light refreshments will be served prior to the screening. Admission is free, but donations at the door are greatly appreciated. Woodmere is located at 9201 Germantown Ave. in Chestnut Hill.
