Description

Death Differently follows a series of stories related to grief, death, and dying. A testament to the moving image, Death Differently is a cinematic education on innovations in death care featuring often overlooked or wholly unknown individuals: death doulas, hospice workers, alternative death advocates, music thanatologists, green burial funeral directors, and many others. Its goal is to highlight these individuals and challenge the ongoing myths that too often lead to end-of-life anxiety, rather than peace. Death Differently features intimate portraits of the people who are assisting those going through the transition from life to death. This film has not been released yet but it was just featured in The New York Times. It features hauntingly impactful cinematography and a beautiful and powerful classical score. The filmmakers will be onsite and will be conducting a talkback right after the program. This event occurs in person at the National Arts Club.RSVP does not guarantee entry. Doors open to the public 15 minutes before the event start time.Our coat check is limited. Please do not bring any large bags or backpacks.
