About the Program: 

Payphones? Dial 0 for Operator? Dialing a number? Long distance calling? If all those phrases sound foreign to you, join us for a night of 16mm films about when telephones were dumb and big, connected to a wall and couldn't fit in your pocket. It'll be fun, awkward, sing-songy and more!

Remember payphones? Operators? Dialing *O* for help? No? Then you *definitely* need to see these! Join us for a delightfully analog evening of 16mm educational films from the days when telephones were tethered to the wall, had rotary dials, and couldn’t sneak into your back pocket. Whether you're nostalgic for the *brrring-brrring* or just curious how long-distance worked before the internet, this program is full of charming, awkward, and occasionally sing-songy attempts to teach America how to make a call. Guaranteed to entertain and confuse anyone under 40.☎️??‍?
