A night of educational films devoted to the anxieties and dangers of growing up
For generations, the classroom projector taught kids everything they needed to know: long division, the water cycle, how to cross the street – and, apparently, what to be terrified of.
Join the A/V Geeks for a night of vintage 16mm educational films devoted to the fears, anxieties, dangers, and everyday disasters of growing up. These films promised to help young people face panic, worry, strangers, accidents, emergencies, and all the other things lurking just outside the classroom door.
Were they reassuring? Traumatizing? Surprisingly useful?
Come find out whether these old films still have something to teach us – or whether, after decades of progress, we’re finally living in the calm, carefree, completely anxiety-free world they were preparing us for.
Vintage 16mm films. Childhood fears. Questionable reassurance.
