Short Attention Span Cinema: The Great Thanksgiving Listen from StoryCorps
Friday, October 11, 2019 - Wednesday, January 1, 2020
The Great Thanksgiving Listen is a growing national movement to collect the voices of this country and to transform the holidays into a time of intergenerational listening and sharing. The concept is simple: honor someone in your life – a grandparent, a sibling, a mentor, or a friend – with a StoryCorps App interview. You may be surprised; The conversations that result may sound just like some of these animated stories. A different film from the program plays each week before our regular features – see schedule below.
