Are you a senior looking for unique art experiences, love film and meeting fellow life-long learners? Come to the AGA for our next Cinema for Seniors, a monthly film matinee programmed by our Aging Artfully Advisory Committee.   

This month, we are screening Anthropocene: The Human Epoch (2018). This film is 87 minutes and will be screened in our Ledcor Theatre located in the lower level of the Gallery. Following the film, we invite participants to partake in a lively discussion with light refreshments in one of our education studios.  

Tickets are $5 or free with our Barrier-Free option, available through the link.

About the Film  

A cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet,  ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a film four years in the making from the multiple-award winning team of Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky. The film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group who, after nearly 10 years of research, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth.
