Join us for a special FREE screening of the Canadian film AWAY FROM HER, a drinks reception and post-film talks and discussion.
The film stars Gordon Pinsent and Julie Christie as a couple whose marriage is tested when Christie’s character begins to suffer from Alzheimer’s and moves into a nursing home, where she loses virtually all memory of her husband and begins to develop a close relationship with another nursing home resident.
AWAY FROM HER is being screened as part of Dementia Awareness Week.
