Documentary Screening: Tea Time
February 29, 2016 @ 6:30 pm
Teens and adults are invited to attend this documentary film screening. This is the second in a series of three documentary films in collaboration with POV, the award-winning independent non-fiction film series on PBS.
Ritual is often associated with powerful and impersonal institutions, but for five Chilean women, ritual centers on a monthly gathering that has sustained them through 60 years of personal and societal change. TEA TIME is a charming and poignant look at how a seemingly mundane routine of tea and pastries has helped the well-heeled participants commemorate life's joys and cope with infidelity, illness, and death.
A celebration of the small things that help us endure, TEA TIME was filmed over five years by filmmaker Maite Alber. The film illuminates a beautiful paradox: as familiar worlds slip away, friendships grow ever stronger and more profound.
The series concludes at the library with THE BEATS OF THE ANTONOU on Monday, March 28 at 6:30 PM.
Program schedule is subject to change. For more information or to arrange a special accommodation, please call the hosting library as soon as possible: 889-6655.
