Short Attention Span Cinema: “Family Ties” from StoryCorps
Friday, April 19 - Thursday, July 18, 2024
As part of our ongoing Short Attention Span Cinema program, IFC Center is proud to share a collection of animations from StoryCorps.
Family can mean different things to different people. In this collection from StoryCorps, explore the ties that bind people together — whether they are unexpected moments of mutual understanding, help with a difficult problem, or laughter-filled memories.
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.
