About
the ALFA’s “Short Films on Ageism” Competition
The following content from ALFA’s
website provides interesting background on the film competition: ALFA sponsors an annual film
competition featuring short films (under 8 minutes) about ageism that
illuminate specific discriminatory practices against seniors, prejudicial
attitudes toward the aging process, and institutional practices that perpetuate
stereotypes about seniors.
With
the long-term goal of eliminating ageism in our society, winning films:
§ Demonstrate the destructive forces
of ageism in society and/or
§ Raise public awareness of how ageism
is expressed in direct or subtle ways and/or
§ Demonstrate how individuals can change their attitudes
and behavior towards older adults.
