The Sweetest Sound, screening on December 4 at the library, is a witty, smart and insightful inquiry into our names. What does a name mean? If your name was different would you have a different personality, a different life? If you met others with your name, would they be like you?
Using his own name, award-winning documentary filmmaker Alan Berliner has made an extended meditation on the psychology and philosophy of names.
