Welcome Film Lovers,

The site for the 12th Legacy Film Festival on Aging (Our 3rd Virtual Fest) is now up and running! Check out our 12 themed programs, which will be available to watch on demand Feb. 14–23, 2025. Each themed Program includes 2 or more films from our selection of 37 International Shorts, Feature-Length, Narrative and Documentary films. Click on the button below to see the 12 Programs, and click on any Program to view film descriptions and trailers.


"Let’s explore how to age meaningfully, not fearfully! Join us for this rare 10-day festival devoted to films celebrating the great adventure of longer life. Learn something new—and pass it on to both Older and Younger Adults. That’s why we like the word ‘Legacy!’ We believe that everyone, no matter what age, will be enriched and entertained."

Sheila Malkind, Legacy Film Festival on Aging Founder and Director

As Filmmaker Ethan Liu cites in his short documentary Beyond Years “By 2050, the population of Americans 65 and older is projected to increase by more than 50%, to 86 million.”

Our Film Festival's Mission has always been to call attention to the needs and concerns of this quickly growing Older population. And in order to face the present and coming challenges, it will require creativity, resilience, and community—and maybe require all of us to see CARE as a broader concern connecting the Needs of the Aging Population to issues of bodily autonomy, disability, and economic justice. LFFoA also celebrates the individuals—the spirit and bravery of our sometimes beautifully cantankerous, often movingly graceful Elders.
