One Another Screening + Skip the Small Talk at Trident Books
Trident Books, 338 Newbury St, Boston, MA
Ever watched a movie that made you want to have a long conversation afterward? We’re making a whole night of that. Join us at Trident Books for a screening of One Another, followed by a Skip the Small Talk event where you’ll get to know the other nice people who showed up! One Another follows three people navigating the possible end of a close friendship at very different stages of life. A cross-country move, a mental health crisis, and a shift into empty-nesting have each brought up questions about what they need from the people closest to them. Filmed over three years, it’s a documentary about friendship, change, and what it means to care for each other. Then, we’ll get to meet each other! We’ll pair you up with other guests and have you switch partners every so often (kinda like speed-dating, but without the speed and without the dating). We’ll have a fabulous host leading the whole shebang, and we’ll give you question cards to guide conversation just a few notches deeper than you’d usually go so you don’t accidentally talk about what you do for work six times in a row. No film-analysis skills required, and there will absolutely not be a quiz. You don’t need to have anything…
