Description

This film, created by students at Blessed Trinity College, showcases a collaborative project between the students and the residents of Newington Day Centre. The intergenerational dance project aimed to foster connections and communication between teenagers and elderly individuals. Produced in partnership with Bounce Culture, the film documents the project and features interviews with several residents reminiscing about their teenage years, enhanced with footage from the Digital Film Archive. This moving film underscores the importance of communication and the profound power of friendship.
