Movie Screening: Cycle of Memory

November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Join the Larchmont Library for a special intergenerational screening of Cycle of Memory, the award-winning documentary about two siblings' bicycle adventure to find the memories their grandfather lost to Alzheimer's. The film is 72 minutes long and will be followed by a Q+A with the filmmaker, Alex Leff, via Zoom.

Mel Schwartz escaped the Great Depression on a bicycle adventure he'd remember for the rest of his life... until Mel lost his memory to Alzheimer's. Now over seventy-five years later, his grandchildren set out to recreate his life-changing journey and find those memories before they slip away. Cycle of Memory explores the importance of intergenerational connection, healing painful pasts, and leaving a meaningful time capsule for the future.

“Cycle of Memory is very moving, with a real sense of family and place; there is much for reflection or discussion, suitable for an audience that wants to stick around after a viewing.” - Mark Poarch, CEO Alzheimer’s BRACE.
