Loss & Legacy (Film & Conversation): Ancestors in Service
November 2 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm MDT
In this final installment of our Loss & Legacy series we’ll reflect upon our military and the ways in which we think about ancestors in service, as prompted by the WW1 memorial film “They Shall Not Grow Old.” Our film & community conversation will be held on Thursday, November 2nd in the evening in Reeder’s Alley Convention Center and facilitated by community philosopher David Nowakowski. Free and open to all members of the community. More details coming soon.
Film & Community Conversation
The Shall Not Grow Old
Date: Thursday, Nov. 2nd
Time: 6pm-8:30pm
Location: Reeder’s Alley Conference Center
Other: Space is limited. Please RSVP.
They Shall Not Grow Old is a 2018 memorial film directed & produced by Peter Jackson. The film was created using original footage of the World War I from the archives of the Imperial War Museum, most previously unseen and all over 100 years old by the time of the film’s release. The audio in the documentary is from BBC and the Imperial War Museum (IWM) interviews of British servicemen who fought in the conflict. Most of the footage has been transformed with colorization and modern production techniques, with the addition of sound effects and voice acting so as to capture a more intimate feel of the soldiers’ actual experiences.
