About this Event
Film Fridays with Tom & Gillian provides a virtual community space facilitated by Enoch Pratt librarians to gather and discuss chosen films. All the titles we are showing will be available from Kanopy or Hoopla, which patrons can access using their Enoch Pratt library card.
Back to School Films:
For the beginning of the new school year, we will be discussing films that explore the world of the school room - one a tender documentary and the other a depiction of youth in revolt. On this anniversary of 9/11, we will also be discussing a short that centers on a child's experience of the historic tragedy.
