The Guild Cinema will show two movies as part of the Before I Die New Mexico Festival: LIVING WHILE DYING and DEFENDING YOUR LIFE.
Thursday, November 1 at 5:00 p.m. | 6:30 p.m. | 8:00 p.m. The documentary LIVING WHILE DYING by Cathy Zheutlin
In a world that sees death as something to vanquish, this 45-minute documentary presents an alternative: people living with terminal illness who greet the inevitable with courage, humor, creativity and acceptance.
Death is a big mystery, yet the outcome is 100% certain and we all will definitely face it one day. Living While Dying offers profound opportunities to uncover value, grace, meaning, and even newfound eloquence in all stages of life. Even physical challenges of chronic illness can move us to a new experience of purpose and connection. Dispelling traditional fears and expectations about death, Living While Dying invites us to reimagine and set the stage for our own inevitable endings.

Starring Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep, in this romantic comedy/fantasy, their characters navigate the first week of the afterlife defending their actions on Earth to ascend to a higher plane of existence. Check out this trailer from 1991!
