Class Description

Description

Join us for a screening of The Automat (Lisa Hurwitz, 2021), the award-winning documentary that recounts the lost history of the iconic restaurant chain Horn & Hardart, which served affordable-priced quality food to millions of New Yorkers and Philadelphians for more than a century. Horn & Hardart’s technology captured the public’s imagination like nothing else in 1900’s— the customer put nickels into slots and little windows opened to reveal the customer’s pick, be it a slice of pie, macaroni and cheese, or a Salisbury steak. The gleaming glass and stainless-steel windows looked “sanitary” and like nothing else in existence. Featuring appearances by Mel Brooks and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, The Automat illustrates how the company both served the public with great food and at the same time treated its employees with fairness and integrity.

The film's director, Lisa Hurwitz, will introduce the screening.
