Five Minutes to Five Years

An unseen narrator recounts the dying and death of her loved one.

With a nod to the fabled Japanese practice of oyasute, which itself was rooted in Buddhist teachings, the film conjures a mythical modern Japan where an aging society has devised a plan to re-balance itself economically by informing its citizens older than seventy-five of the option of euthanasia. A 78-year-old woman faces the question of whether she should carry on or seemingly serve her society through self-sacrifice.

The Legacy Film Festival on Aging celebrates the aging process as profound, often challenging, & always courageous. Will we age “gracefully”, crankily, painfully, defiantly? We portray this unique, ever-changing experience honestly, artfully, always with compassion and love for their subjects.

Here's what's coming up soon. Can't make it? No sweat. Many live streams will be available for on-demand viewing as well.
