A Concerto is a Conversation (2020)

Nominated for Best Documentary Short  This was produced by the New York Times and is available to watch on their website or for free on YouTube.

Kris Bowers is a composer and pianist, known for his film scores of When They See Us, The Snowy Day, and Green Book, where he also worked as Mahershala Ali's piano teacher and doubled his hands for some of the playing in the film.  In this short, he prepares for a concerto being performed in Los Angeles and has a conversation with his grandfather, Horace Bowers, Sr., about the latter's beginnings and life.  

This is a really sweet short about the importance of connecting with family before they're gone.  It's only about 13 minutes long and well worth a watch.
