  • Drakeford Library Complex 203 South Greensboro Street Carrboro, NC, 27510 United States (map)

This eclectic collection of 8 short films aims to celebrate all moments in the journey through life, especially the ones which are often left off-screen. Through these films, we hear from a Tennessee city confronting the aftermath of the creation of the atomic bomb, witness a very private crisis amidst a crowded dinner party, and watch as characters are caught off-guard in the first moments of falling in and out of love. In every instance, these films defy our expectations by telling another side of a familiar story, moving us to thought, laughter, and tears–and everything in between.

Filmmakers from the films will participate in a Q&A after the films.
