MIDDLEBORO — The film “Cycle of Memory’’ will be screened at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Middleboro Public Library, 102 North Main St. The screening is co-sponsored by the Middleboro Council on Aging.

Born to Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, Mel Schwartz escaped the Great Depression on a 100-mile bicycle adventure with his best friend in 1945. But when Alzheimer’s takes away Grandpa Mel’s memories, it’s left to his grandsons, filmmakers Alex and Koby, to recreate the life-changing bike trip and find those memories again.

“Cycle of Memory’’ follows the brothers as they try to uncover the past and capture the present, so they can remember in the future. Guided by old photographs of the trip, they search for places aged by time. Along the way, Alex and Koby confront their own tumultuous relationship and deepen their connection with Grammy Connie.

This documentary explores intergenerational connection, memory and healing. The film was an official selection of the Sunset Film Festival in LA, the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival, the Long Island International Film Expo and the Riverside International Film Festival.

Registration is requested for planning purposes. Call (508) 946-2470 or e-mail lfox@sailsinc.org.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Middleborough Cultural Council, a local agency which is funded by the Mass Cultural Council.
