Older Than What?
Writer/Director: Steen Starr
A short film about the experience of aging in the LGBTTQ community/s.
Older Than What? Documentary Short
- Cast Members: Glenn Saunders, Ma-Nee Chacaby, Bradford McIntyre, & Pat Hogan
Directed by Steen Starr, Older Than What? is the story of twelve queer and trans elders responding to ten questions about aging, visibility, and the social change they’ve been a part of. With responses that are inspiring, funny, and at times heartbreaking.
“Short, quippy, honest, surprising, bold and heartfelt film about being older and LGBTQ, in the voices of older LGBTQs themselves. It has the power to make invisible people visible.
Older people in the LGBTTIQ2S community (LGBTQ for short) face double or triple stigmas. They become invisible not only in society but in their own community. This film, Older Than What? is about capturing the thoughts, experiences, struggles, knowledge, sex appeal and charm of older LGBTQs and celebrating it all up there on the big screen.”
