Rockland Public Library and Bartlett Woods Retirement Community will present a screening of the documentary “Shelf Life” followed by a discussion of the film at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 12.
“Shelf Life” launches with an unusual premise: Might spending time among people who age cheese yield insights about what it’s like for us humans to grow old?
A peripatetic journey to unexpected locations — ranging from Japan to Tblisi — provides an immersive culinary and temporal experience. At the heart of the film are the people we meet along the way: cheese makers, mongers and librarians whose perspectives on decay and dissolution both charm and haunt.
This event is free and open to all. The Rockland Public Library is located at 80 Union St. For more information, email elewis@rocklandmaine.gov.
