SUMMARY:“The Automat” Film Screening and Director’s Talk Presented by New Canaan Library in Collaboration with Darien Library
DESCRIPTION:Americans once sipped coffee and ate pie around communal tables\, sharing their struggles and dreams with strangers at Horn & Hardart’s iconic Automat. In collaboration with Darien Library\, New Canaan Library present a screening of the documentary The Automat. The film (Runtime 79 minutes) will be followed by a special Q. & A. session with Lisa Hurwitz\, Director and Producer of the film. The event takes place at Darien Library on Monday\, June 13 at 6 PM; please register at newcanaanlibrary.org to attend.  \nLifetimes ago\, Horn and Hardart’s Automats nourished a sense of unity that bridged the diversity of class\, language\, gender and race in the urban melting pots of the East Coast. From the perspective of former customers – entertainer Mel Brooks\, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz\, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, Secretary of State Colin Powell\, the Horns\, the Hardarts\, and key employees – The Automat shows how the business climbed to its peak success and then grappled with fast food in a forever changed America.\nLisa Hurwitz is the Director and Producer of the 2021 Telluride Film Festival Official Selection THE AUTOMAT\, a feature documentary film with original music by Mel Brooks and appearances by Mel Brooks\, Carl Reiner\, Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, Colin Powell\, Howard Schulz and Elliott Ghould. \n
