Movie Memories Volumes!
Nothing stirs memory more than re-seeing the movies of one’s youth. Movie Memories from the 1930s to 1960s may be enjoyed on their own again and again, or a moderator can guide a journey into the past for those who would like to share the memories woken by the films.
A session of Movie Memories requires a meeting place with a DVD player and a television or projection TV system. A group leader plays a film segment to those assembled. At the end of each film four questions come onscreen followed by the word “Memories," which is the cue to pause the DVD and re-ask the questions. Lively responses will flood the room!
Each Volume contains 3 DVDs of 45-55 min. running time of the films. Sharing memories can double the length of a session, so all films on one disc may not be used at one sitting.
