“This year’s program takes a particular look at the modern family, celebrating the unconventional, complex and ever-changing relationships that bind us together,” says Festival Director Mathieu Ravier.
Young at Heart is the only film festival specifically created for seniors, which enriches cultural diversity and experiences for all audiences.
For its 11th incarnation, the Young at Heart program will include ten new feature films, a selection of new Australian short films starring seniors, special events, filmmaker Q&As, a digital print of the 1951 classic A Streetcar Named Desire and the Foxtel Movies Audience Award where filmgoers vote for Best Film.
Exploring shifting family dynamics are the dramas Louder than Bombs starring Isabelle Huppert, Jesse Eisenberg and Gabriel Byrne; Fathers and Daughters with Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried and Jane Fonda; and Mia Madre, from Italian master Nanni Moretti and starring Margherita Buy and John Turturro.
