FILM CLUB WORKSHOPS
For Senior Citizens
& Intergenerational Groups
​​
"Now more than ever we need to talk to each other,
to listen to each other and understand how we see the world,
and cinema is the best medium for doing this."
- Martin Scorsese, Director​
Movies are the magical, transporting art Seniors grew up with. In this workshop we dive into iconic clips from a classic movie, analyzing all aspects of its filmmaking, revisiting the film’s historical time, and uncovering it’s behind the scenes trivia. For the Seniors it’s a springboard to vivid memories, fresh perspectives, and their own untold stories.

“For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”​
THE VALUE OF INTERGENERATIONAL GROUPS
​
​​​
Senior citizens and teenagers have more in common than you might think. Both groups are often underestimated, their thoughts and ideas dismissed or left unspoken. Ironically, in our hyper-connected, digital world, teenagers can feel just as lonely as elders, even when surrounded by peers.
​
Society tends to celebrate youth and the comfort of sticking with one’s peer group. But the truth is teens and elders often thrive in intergenerational settings, where they can share and compare their different experiences and perspectives. These connections encourage deeper insights, truthfulness, and a level of ease that can be harder to find within their own age groups.
