The good years - Film & talk with director Reiner Riedler
DIE GUTEN JAHRE
Film & discussion with director Reiner Riedler in cooperation with the Liezen Care Association
In his early fifties, successful magazine photographer Michael Appelt moves back into his old childhood home to care for his mother, who is beginning to suffer from dementia.
Appelt, himself traumatised after a long stay in hospital and suffering from severe depression, lovingly cares for his mother and dreams of earlier adventures when his world, dominated by photography, was still in order.
Reiner Riedler's documentary film is a personal portrait of a friend and companion that not only tells of the essential themes of being human, growing old and confronting the hopeless, but also makes Michael Appelt's impressive photographic oeuvre accessible.
First and foremost, however, ‘The Good Years’ is a filmic testimony to the unconditional love that forms the basis for mother and son to live together in times of change.
After the film, there will be an opportunity to make personal contact with the Liezen Care Association (dementia counselling) and to obtain information on self-help.
Reiner Riedler will also be on hand to answer any questions visitors may have.
