Join us for a screening of “Lars and the Real Girl,” a thoughtful and unconventional film about loneliness, connection, and the ways communities can respond when someone is struggling to find a sense of belonging.

The film, which stars Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider, Kelli Garner and Patricia Clarkson, offers an opportunity to consider what meaningful relationships can look like, how communities can make space for people who experience the world differently, and the importance of connection in building a life of belonging.

Though this event is part of the Building Networks for Life Series, the movie is open to all. The film is rated PG-13. Directions and a parking pass will be provided to those who register.
