Film Screening & Panel Discussion: The Rest I Make Up

Event Details

In honor of both Hispanic Heritage and World Alzheimer’s Months, join the San Francisco Public Library for a special screening of The Rest I Make Up—named one of The New Yorker’s “Best Movies of 2018”—followed by a panel discussion focusing on creative care, cognitive resilience, identity and brain health.

This acclaimed documentary chronicles Atlantic Fellow and filmmaker Michelle Memran’s decade-long creative collaboration with legendary Cuban-American playwright María Irene Fornés. When Fornés stopped writing due to Alzheimer’s, their friendship—and the camera—sparked a new artistic practice, capturing the brilliance, humor and intimate bond that deepened between them.

Two people stand close together and smile near a rocky shoreline, with a city skyline and a large cargo ship visible across the water in the background.
