EXCERPT FROM PREVIEW BY NICK FRASER...

This is why I like festivals. A film we commissioned about very, very old ladies in a home for the active elderly, all Jewish, authors, therapists, bluestockings, campaigners, walkers, is shown in a small, packed room. It is as good as I had hoped. The audience love it.

It's an original film because it deals with the feeling of being old – what you know about life and can tell, what you have to endure each day. The Time of their Lives will be shown soon on the BBC. But I also hope it will find audiences in the care industry.
