Event Description

Join filmmaker Raouf Zaki on September 27 at 2pm for a screening of his film Dream, in celebration of Blindness Awareness Month! The screening is in partnership with the Lion's Club "Seeing Is Believing" Event, which will take place on the library lawn and in the Goodwin Forum earlier that day on September 27. Film Description: Frank, an autistic man, loses his parents to COVID-19. He visits a petting zoo where he meets Daisy, a blind woman with dreams of sailing solo. Immersing himself into the world of the blind, Frank experiences how they rely on their other senses through activities such as fencing and begins to face his own fears. Daisy opens his eyes to what life is all about as he develops an app to help her, and other blind sailors, sail independently. About Raouf Zaki: Raouf Zaki, originally from Egypt and based in Massachusetts for 34 years, wrote and directed several internationally awarded independent films. Santa Claus in Baghdad, described by the New York Times as a “miracle in filmmaking” for turning Boston into Baghdad, is used in hundreds of schools in the United States with a study guide developed by Harvard University. His most recent film, Fireflies, a film without dialog and winner of the Boston Film Festival, received the Sumner Redstone award at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library, a patron-supported non-profit organization.

    Tokens of Compliment and Love: 19th Century Concord Celebrates the Holidays

    When November rolls around each year many Americans begin to think about the upcoming holidays. Traditional family recipes are dusted off for Thanksgiving as relatives and friends are invited to share the feast. Almost as soon as dinner is over, thoughts turn to Christmas as decorations, presents, and parties become the center of attention. Many of our holiday traditions date back to the 19th century, and modern Americans would easily recognize their ancestor’s Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations.
