Short Attention Span Cinema: Celebrating 20 Years of StoryCorps
Friday, September 8 - Thursday, December 7, 2023
As part of our ongoing Short Attention Span Cinema program, IFC Center is proud to share a collection of animations from StoryCorps.
We are celebrating 20 years of StoryCorps! Explore a collection of animations, including five new releases, that reflect the breadth of meaningful conversations that everyday people have shared in StoryCorps booths over the last 20 years, as they pass on wisdom they’ve gained along their paths.
StoryCorps is committed to the idea that everyone has an important story to tell and that everyone’s story matters. StoryCorps’s work helps us believe in each other by illuminating the humanity and possibility in us all — one story at a time. Visit storycorps.org to learn more or record your own story, and watch more StoryCorps videos at youtube.com/storycorps.
