Wellstone Film Series Continues with "Young At Heart" on Thurs. April 30th at 6:30 p.m.

Directed by Stephen Walker, YOUNG AT HEART follows a singing group of Massachusetts senior citizens as they prepare for their 2006-7 concert tour of New England, the West Coast, and Ireland. As Ty Burr of the Boston Globe points out, the premise of the film sounds “much too cute to tolerate.” However, the “ragged triumph of Stephen Walker’s film is that it convinces us to stick around as the proceedings deepen into profundity.” After mentioning the songs performed in the film and the source of suspense in the action, Burr concludes: “In ‘Young at Heart,’ the prison is old age, and every song’s a jailbreak.” Please join us for this humane and heartwarming documentary, which premiered at Sundance in 2008.

Again, doors will open at 6 p.m. at the South Portland Community Center in the Second Floor Teen Room on Thursday, April 30th, with the film beginning at 6:30.
