APIA YOUNG AT HEART SENIORS FILM FESTIVAL

APIA YOUNG AT HEART SENIORS FILM FESTIVAL

This film festival returns for its 13th edition and attendees should be delighted by the variety of films screened. Especially dedicated to avid movie-goers over the age of 60, the program consists of 16 films which should ensure there’s something for everyone.

The opening day event includes a light afternoon tea, a glass of sparkling and a gift bag prior to the screening of The Bookshop. This Spanish and British co-production stars Emily Mortimer and tells the story of a lady who opens her first book shop in late 1950s England.

Audiences should warm to French produced Aurore, a romantic comedy which examines the life changes a middle-aged woman experiences. Movie-goers who enjoy a good political drama won’t be disappointed in Chappaquiddick which stars Australia’s very own Jason Clarke and details the events in 1969 when Senator Kennedy drove his car into a lake which led to the death of a political campaigner.

Sea Dreaming Girls is an absorbing documentary which revolves around a group of elderly ladies living in a small Italian village who are determined to travel to the sea for the first time. Film lovers will also have the opportunity to revisit classics All About EveA Star Is Born and The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie.

Apr 2-11. Palace Norton St, Palace Verona, Palace Central. $8.50-$20+b.f. Tickets & Info: www.youngatheart.net.au
