| Kaminsky Film Discussion, Young@Heart |
| Sarasota News & Books 7:00 PM |
|
Film Professor Stuart Kaminsky will lead a discussion on the film, Young@Heart. For the members of Young @ Heart, This geriatric chorus is no mere novelty act. Young@Heart is at once a serious musical undertaking, a supportive community, and a way to stay active and engaged when society often expects seniors to be passive and quiet. The group's eclectic and entertaining repertoire shines a spotlight on taboos about old age - the Clash's "Should I Stay, or Should I Go?" becomes an amusing meditation on life and death, while Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" serves as a haunting ode to lost youth and fallen friends.
