The Bethel Public Library proudly presents a screening of the recently released documentary “To Be
Funny: 100 Years of Buster Keaton,” on Saturday January 5, 2019, at 2:00 pm, followed by Q&A with
the filmmakers.
Deemed one of the finest physical comedians ever to grace the screen, Buster Keaton still makes
people laugh 100 years later. Local filmmakers Jessica Roseboom and Gavin Rosenberg have
produced a film that looks at Keaton’s comic genius through interviews with cinephiles, musicians,
historians, and fans. The film also offers a glimpse into annual Keaton celebrations, as well as live
performances of original scores for some of the actor’s most beloved movies.
The film and discussion with Q&A is appropriate for young adults and adults. Parental guidance is
suggested.
Registration is required. Register online at www.bethellibrary.org, email [email protected], or
call 794-8756 ext. 4.
All programs sponsored by the Bethel Public Library are open to the public and meet
accessibility requirements for the disabled. Those needing special accommodations should
contact the Library at least two weeks prior to the program to make arrangements.
Experts will discuss how to handle grief and loneliness during the holidays.
Representatives from Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care will lead 45-minute presentations at the municipal center. Attendees will learn techniques to help them get through the holiday season.
“When we have suffered the loss of a loved one, no matter how much time has passed, the holidays may bring a sense of sadness, grief and/or loneliness, which is a normal part of loss,” the town said in a release.
Presentations will be held at 4:15 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. Wednesday in the social room of the Senior Center.
RSVP to Megan Alworth-Khazadian, social services director, at 203.794.8537
