Older women in films

If you live in London and are interested in the 50-plus and films then have a half day holiday and come to a discussion and presentation exploring the history of older women in film and the modern day scarcity of roles for older women in feature films.

There are some really excellent speakers including Tony Carr, director of Matcine, Jean Rogers, Vice-President of Equity and Holly Aylett, Vertigo Magazine. All of this plus the screening of the file Bread & Tulips.

Interested? Then call the Ritzy booking office on 08707 550 062.

This is being staged by the British Film Institute who has done some great work in understanding the role of older women in films. With luck, one of these ladies (Helen Mirren) will soon be collecting an Oscar. Dick Stroud
