About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

In today’s busy and often distracted society, making space for connections across generations can be challenging. But film offers a powerful way to find common ground and spark meaningful conversations—it gives us a platform to reflect on life experiences. By sharing and listening to different perspectives and experiences, we have an opportunity to deepen our understanding of one another.

Join us for a fun, interactive session facilitated by Jim Vanden Bosch of Terra Nova Films. Learn how to use films in your own home to inspire thoughtful dialogue between generations. Discover how to choose mainstream, independent, or documentary films—or even short segments—and kickstart discussions that highlight both the differences and the shared values between young and old.
