N EVER PRODUCTION | JONATHAN FEIN & BRIAN DANITZ
The documentary film and educational initiative Objects and Memory is about how we respond to history while it is happening and how we tell our stories through the otherwise ordinary things in our homes and museums that are associated with people, places, and events.
The film was PBS’s national prime time special in commemoration of both the seventh and tenth anniversaries of 9/11. With narration by Frank Langella and music by Philip Glass, Objects and Memory invites viewers to consider what they value most, and how we form communities across time.
Objects and Memory was honored with the 2010 American Association for State and Local History Award of Merit, considered the most prestigious national recognition for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of state and local history. The film was profiled on ABC’s 20/20.
Filmmaker Jon Fein was interviewed on Public Radio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Listen at Public Broadcasting or at iTunes.
