Join us for a screening of Familiar Touch, a poignant debut feature by Sarah Friedland that explores aging, caregiving, and dementia with honesty and warmth. The story follows Ruth, an octogenarian adjusting to life in assisted living, portrayed by Kathleen Chalfant in an award-winning performance.

Cycling Without Age is a heartwarming documentary that follows a global movement born in Copenhagen, where volunteers offer free rickshaw rides to older adults, reconnecting them with their communities and the joy of the open air. What begins with one man and a trishaw becomes a worldwide story of dignity, freedom, and intergenerational connection—one bike ride at a time.
