Join Movies for Grownups for an enjoyable evening of short films on connection!
About the Event
This showcase features short films highlighting the power of connection. We will be screening the following films:
Friend of a Friend: Created entirely by a group of older students from an Institute of Learning in Retirement, this documentary short turned into a passion project about how older adults foster community to combat social isolation and loneliness.
Every Monday Night: Hit the courts with this group of 70+ basketball players who formed friendships through a pickup league in Oakland.
Stand Down: This documentary shares the hope and support of the thousands of volunteers who run "Stand Down" events providing supplies and services to homeless veterans.
Welcome to Recovery Cafe: A documentary that reveals that good nutrition, connection and community are the antidotes to isolation, loneliness and recidivism.
