YEARS IN THE MAKING: A JOURNEY INTO LATE LIFE CREATIVITY

Years In the Making introduces a group of 50 feisty, professional artists who live within a few miles of each other. All between the ages of 70 and 95 years old, they are still passionate about their art and their need to produce new work. They talk about the challenges they faced to become artists originally and the new challenges that come with age.

And what eventful lives they have lived. Some document how the Great Depression, World War II, the Holocaust and the Civil Rights movement impacted their lives and their art. Others tell about confronting illness and aging with creativity, finding new ways to express themselves.

Years in the Making is a joyful documentary providing insights into the creative process and the impact of art throughout various stages of life. It is a kaleidoscope of the artists, their works and their diverse personalities.

Alternately pensive and humorous, the film inspires us to seize the day and to celebrate artists who are journeying through late life creativity.

Narrated by Keir Dullea with music by composer Paul Alan Levi, this production presents a vast array of the visual arts including painters, sculptors, mixed media artists, cartoonists, illustrators, graphic designers and photographers who have spent decades nurturing their talents and creating works that have gained national and international recognition.

    GREEN HOUSE PROJECT - REMAKING ELDER CARE IN AMERICA

    by Wiland Bell



    The time has come to reinvent the long-term care environment for the 21st century. The growing numbers of elderly in America and around the world demand and expect change. It is clear that we must alter the way we think about, regulate and deliver services to people who are frail, disabled or elderly. We must abolish the widespread practice of institutionalizing the frail, the chronically ill and the elderly among us. However, before we can begin to dismantle the policies, procedures and even the buildings that defined the facility-based era of long-term care we must develop proven alternatives to the status quo. The Green House Project is an attempt to design, build and test a radically new approach to residential long-term care for the elderly. It is founded on the idea that the physical and social environments in which we deliver long-term care can and should be warm, smart, and green.

    Review
  • "Long-term care should be about life worth living for today's elders and for tomorrow's. The Green House is just the beginning." - William Thomas, MD
