Filmreihe Hier&Jetzt: Lebensspuren – vom Altern, Lieben und Erinnern

In the organizer's words:

How is ageing viewed today? What ideas about the last phase of life shape us and what role models break through the clichés of growing old? Four extraordinary documentaries tell of the importance of dance, music, creativity and love that people experience in old age. An Auschwitz survivor finds an expression for her traumatic experiences on stage, a very old New York interior designer designs rooms like her eccentric life, a Polish artist persistently pursues her passions, old people in Denmark remember the great loves of their lives and draw a special strength from them. Haunting and inspiring portraits about dignity, longing and the courage to shape one's own life to the very end.

In cooperation with DOK.fest Munich
