The following announcement was provided by Mount Auburn Cemetery:
The Coolidge returns to Mount Auburn Cemetery to present our popular Cemetery Cinema outdoor film program!
This incredibly unique screening experience will take place at sunset on Tuesday, August 26 at the historic and beautiful Mount Auburn Cemetery. (Rain date: Wednesday, August 27).
The evening begins with the area premiere of a new 4K restoration of The Sweet Hereafter, Atom Egoyan’s Oscar-nominated adaptation of Russell Banks’ novel about a small town reeling from a devastating tragedy. Our second feature is Errol Morris’ incredible debut documentary Gates of Heaven, which examines the devotions, emotions and at times, obsessions exhibited by animal lovers when a pet cemetery is moved to a new location. Both sincere and satirical, the film is an endlessly surprising and often funny look at how we grieve.
Mount Auburn Cemetery is located 580 Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge. Parking will be available at the cemetery, and light concessions will be sold. Chairs, blankets, and snacks are encouraged, but no alcohol, please. Mount Auburn Cemetery is an active burial place and a sacred site to mourners. Please keep this in mind as you set up your seating space and refrain from touching or leaning against any of the monuments or headstones.
The seating area is an uneven grassy field surrounded by monuments and gravestones. For inquiries about accessibility, to request an accommodation, or if you have any questions about your membership, please contact friends@mountauburn.org.
