Summit Film Society: July 11
The Breckenridge Film Festival, with support from the Backstage Theater, will be hosting the Summit Film Society on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, 7:30 pm. at the Backstage Theater.
Next Showing is OBIT:
As documentaries go, few of them are as outright entertaining to watch as director Vanessa Gould’s fascinating treatment of TheNew York Times obituary reporters, called, appropriately enough, Obit.
How do you put a life into 500 words? Ask the staff obituary writers at the New York Times. OBIT is a first-ever glimpse into the daily rituals, joys and existential angst of the Times obit writers, as they chronicle life after death on the front lines of history.
At The New York Times, a particular team of writers is entrusted with reflecting upon the luminaries, icons, and world leaders of our day. Here, we are introduced to those responsible for crafting these unequaled obituaries. As we are taken through their painstaking process, we learn about the pressures accompanying a career spent shaping the story of a life.
