These films were made as  the first initiative that the Louth Age Friendly Programme has delivered as part of an ongoing suite of ageism awareness initiatives. The screening is part of a selection of films being screened in our Studio Theatre on Culture Night from 6pm – 9pm.

Shot in black and white, this short film depicts a group of extraordinary people introducing themselves and making a personal statement in relation to ageism and ageing.

Life’s Journey – Duration – 52 minutes
This extraordinary piece of work is a powerful and moving tribute to each person involved in the film. Each participant selected an item of clothing that has a very special meaning for them and they explained the back story to the object and why it has such a special place in their life.

Facilitated and directed by Paul Hayes, Videography and Editing by Seán McMahon.

Culture Night is an annual all-island public event that celebrates culture, creativity and the arts supported by the Arts Council and Louth County Council.
