CIGARETTES & FRESH AIR
(for Nursing, Gerontology and Sociology Programs) Produced and directed by filmmaker Brian McDermott CIGARETTES & FRESH AIR is an outstanding example of compassionate filmmaking. Inside this fictional assisted living facility, we are introduced to familiar characters who are not easily lovable, but who earn our respect with their integrity. The film takes us to a place we don't want to go, one that makes us uncomfortable, but it's place where millions of American seniors do go: the institutionalized aging. CIGARETTES & FRESH AIR raises our reluctant sights to the reality of how many of us live and die in America, and maybe why we should care before we get there. The beauty of the cinematography helps us keep on looking, the subtext is gentle but firm, and the structure is irresistible. CIGARETTES & FRESH AIR is a film that as an educational tool will certainly promote discussion in nursing and gerontology settings. (DVD & VHS Price $179.95 S & H $8.95) Click to sample film

THE WISDOM YEARS (2006)
Produced by InFactuation in the UK, THE WISDOM YEARS breaks through the fear that people sometimes experience when they stop working and face the 20, 30 or even 40 years that lie before them. For many, retirement can be seen as the unwanted and sometimes frightening end of a neat structured life, which catapults them into the unknown. From the viewpoint of British Baby Boomers and young retirees, THE WISDOM YEARS portrays retirement as a transition in life - a move from middle to older age that can be viewed as a wonderful opportunity - a chance for people to finally take time for themselves and be productive in ways they've always wanted to.
