BIFF Film and Virtual Discussion: The Arc of Oblivion

A filmmaker begins building a secure, ark-like structure in Maine to house movies and collections, leading to the film’s main question: Why are humans the only animals to archive? This question results in a trip around the world, to salt mines in the Alps, fjords in the Arctic, and ancient libraries in the Sahara to illuminate the strange world of archives and memory. Directed by Ian Cheney

Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF) brings independent films and discussion to older adults. One week prior to the online facilitated discussion, participants will receive an email with an online link to view the film. Please watch the film beforehand, as the film will not be viewed during the online discussion.
