Now in its 14th edition, the upcoming Apia Young at Heart Seniors Film Festival celebrates mature aged movie lovers from Wednesday February 13th until Wednesday February 27th at Palace Cinemas in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth.

The collection of fifteen carefully selected films targeting specifically  the “young at heart” will include  comedies, must-see documentaries and critically acclaimed dramas.

Enjoy a laugh with NONNAS ON THE RUN, starring screen icon Claudia Cardinale as one of two bored retirees running away from a retirement home for a dream trip in Venice.

RED JOAN, based on the life of Melita Norwood, a British KGB agent, tells the story of Joan Stanley, one of the most influential spies in living history. Sophie Cookson plays young Joan with legendary Judi Dench playing ‘Granny Spy’.

Bill Nighy stars in SOMETIMES, ALWAYS, NEVER, a stylish comedy-drama about a Scrabble-obsessed tailor searching for his son, while AN UNEXPECTED LOVE serves up a hugely entertaining dose of romantic-comedy.
