About the event
We hope you'll join us for the opening of Closing Credits: An End-of-Life Film Series with a screening of End Game. Each film in the series offers a deep dive into different facets of the complex, beautiful, and humbling realm of death and dying.
In this film, terminally ill patients facing inevitable outcomes meet extraordinary medical practitioners seeking to shift our approach to both living and dying. This is a beautiful and touching film that opens hearts and minds to ancient and new ways of being, with sensitivity to our contemporary, technology-driven environment.
Join us in Central Library's Swanson Room for the screening, followed by an engaging discussion led by experts from Hospice of the Piedmont, Panorama Natural Burial, and Woven Roots Collective. This is an opportunity to share your thoughts about the film, contemplate living and dying, discuss options for end-of-life care, and better understand after-death practices, funerals, and burials. This is a partner program with Central Library.
The film series will culminate in the second annual Death Fest: Gather, Grieve Grow, an all-day community gathering to explore the natural cycles of life and death on Sunday, Nov 3, at Montfair Resort Farm in White Hall, VA.
Closing Credits is a collaborative effort by Hospice of the Piedmont, Panorama Natural Burial, and Woven Roots Collective to foster open conversations about life's final chapter. Other films in the series include:
Wednesday, September 18, 6-8pm
Gordon Avenue Library
Explore the growing home funeral and natural burial movements through several family's personal experiences taking ownership of their loved one's funeral plans.
Thursday, October 10, 6-8pm
The Center, Auditorium A
Immerse yourself in one man's powerful journey to willingly and intentionally confront death using social media to share his journey with the masses. A profound and life-altering expose on life and death.
Join us for an evening that promises to challenge, inspire, and perhaps even transform your perspective on life and death. This free community-building event is open to all.
