Description
Join Bellevue Literary Review and The Foundation for Art and Healing for a very special event: (Serious) Fun with the UnLonely Film Festival.
BLR editor Danielle Ofri will be joined by Jeremy Nobel, founder and president of the Foundation for Art and Healing to screen three remarkable short films from the UnLonely Film Festival that explore themes of loneliness, connection, and belonging. These films are not afraid to be creative, resonant, or even hilarious.
Meet the creative teams behind the films, and see how just much power can be packed into an under-10-minute-movie.
RSVP even if you can't make the exact time of the event. (We'll send you an email the next day with the link, which will stay active afterward.) Bring a friend to watch with you. But popcorn--you are on your own for that.
