October 29, 2015 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm
1835 Centre Ave. in the Kaufmann Center (2nd Floor Conference Room)

The Alzheimer Disease Research Center will screen "Alive Inside," an award-winning film that captures the transformative results of treating dementia with music, on Thursday, Oct. 29.

The 78-minute film won the Audience Award: U.S. Documentary at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Written and directed by Michael Rossato-Bennett, the movie shows how music can be used to fight memory loss and restore a sense of self to those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The film features an appearance by the late neurologist and storyteller, Oliver Sacks. (Click to see the trailer.)

The screening, followed by a panel discussion, will be held at 1835 Centre Ave. in the Kaufmann Center (2nd Floor Conference Room) from 2 to 3:30 p.m.on Thursday, Oct. 29. The event is open to all. For more information, contact Cleo Rydeskic, Outreach Coordinator, ADRC.
