aging

This film is a day in the life of my grandfather, Anthony Lisinichia, 88 years old. Child of the depression, WWII vet, widower and patriarch, this film documents some simple activities of his life: going to the Y, shopping for groceries, visiting the cemetery. But what results is a resonant portrait of a dynamic man at the tail end of his life, and a subtle social commentary that shows that many of the problems our society is facing now could be avoided by the wisdom of our elders.
