THE JOY OF DANCE AT ANY AGE Two films from Ruth Diskin Films that will make your heart skip and your spirit swing Ida's Dance Club Doc. 59 min Written and Directed by Dalit Kimor "The combination of happiness and laughter , lots of music and dancing along with depth and smart movie-making have made the film enjoyable for audiences of any age." Dancing Alfonso Doc. 50 min Written & Directed by Barak Heymann "Heyman's camera embraces Alfonso; as he dances elegantly, as he flirts enthusiastically, as he glides gracefully He is a man who has the whole world at his feet and he takes on the world without shame." Dear Librarian/Professor, As people are living longer, the issue of how to deal with old age has taken on additional resonance. Two films from Ruth Diskin Films allow us a peek at the exceptional inner worlds of senior citizens in Tel Aviv who have a unique take on getting old. Dancing Alfonso is an award winning film with a rewarding character at its center. Barak Heymann follows a Tel Aviv senior citizen leading a dramatic life. Alfonso, the lead dancer in a flamenco class with an average age of 75, uses dance to express the alternating emotions of hope and rage of a man on the cusp of losing his wife to illness. Ida's Dance Club is where once a year a ballroom dancing competition takes place. All the competitors are way past retirement age, but that doesn't stop them from dancing and singing, from falling in love and being disappointed. The competition participants hardly know one another outside the club walls, but their lives, full of problems, are gradually revealed to us. We are offering the films for purchase at the price of $300 per title for universities - and a 10% discount on the purchase of both.
