Cinemix Film Series: Dying (with guest Michael Roemer)

Dying (Michael Roemer, 1976, 16mm, 83 mins)
Michael Roemer in person! New print!
With extraordinary intimacy, we hear from three people facing death with differing mindsets, and from the families soon to be left behind. Filmed over two years, this masterful documentary confronts the taboo of death with honesty, compassion, and even joy. “Dying and its subjects have a story to tell, and it can set you free” (Ken Emerson). Followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

This event will be followed by a 4 p.m. screening of Roemer’s film Pilgrim, Farewell. Also a new print!

The “Cinemix” series features stand-alone screenings of standout films, presented by the Yale Film Archive and our colleagues from across campus and beyond.
