Home, Life & You LIVE brings the spirit of Kartemquin Films' landmark 1967 documentary *Home for Life* to a live audience in London. The film, which won the Chicago Award at the Chicago International Film Festival and was an official selection at both the New York and Edinburgh Film Festivals, offers an unflinching look at the experiences of two elderly people adjusting to life in a home for the aged.
Attendees can expect a screening of the recently restored version of this pioneering work, which follows a woman struggling to remain useful in her son's home and a widower who can no longer care for himself. The documentary captures their encounters with residents, medical staff, social workers, psychiatrists, and family, providing a deeply human perspective on aging and independence.
This event is a rare opportunity to experience a piece of cinema history that helped establish Kartemquin Films as a force in documentary filmmaking. The restored film is now available on DVD.
