The 11th Legacy Film Festival on Aging

Sheila Malkind, the Founder & Director of the Legacy Film Festival on Aging, selected 40 long and short films, almost entirely documentaries–some whimsical, others serious—covering diverse themes on Friendship, Vitality, Later Life, Love, Creativity, Caregiving, and, inevitably, Death—and more.

Also included in the upcoming festival, are recorded interviews with several of the filmmakers–their chosen subjects, their challenges, and the messages their films impart. Director Norman Jewison explains his film adaptation of Fiddler’s Journey to the Big Screen, while Director Barbara Schock talks about her 2000 Academy Award as Director for Best Short Film (Live Action), My Mother Dreams The Satan’s Disciples in New York.

The 11th Annual Legacy Film Festival on Aging celebrates the aging process as profound and meaningful, often challenging, and always courageous. 

Taking place virtually from January 6-15, 2023!

Film Discussion - Talking Matewan: Social Psychoanalytic Takes on Appalachia and Solidarity

Facilitated by Nicholas B. DiCarlo with Discussant Dr. Lara Sheehi

December 3, 2021 at 5-6:30 PM Pacific / 7-8:30 PM Central / 8-9:30 PM Eastern Time

The film Matewan (Sayles, 1987) depicts the real life struggle of miners organizing in 1920s Mingo County, West Virginia. Our discussion will explore the film's implications for racialized subjectivities, narcissistic injuries and exploitation ("mining shame"), and the politics of portrayal. Key questions will focus on the political economies of extraction: how delusions of ownership and superiority are fascistic fuel and fodder, how intergenerational traumas impede resistance movements, and how we see coal extraction in the midst of climate apocalypse.
