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. Both tender and unexpectedly joyful, the film redefines what it means to grow older.

Filmed at Villa Gardens, a Front Porch community, the production engaged residents and staff as collaborators—on screen and behind the scenes—blurring the line between fiction and real life. Stay for a post-film discussion with the filmmakers and cast. Learn more at familiartouchfilm.com.
