From the malleable period of life called youth to grappling with growing older, age is a never-ending subject matter to explore within the plot of a film. It is one that we have been drawn to exploring and viewing for as long as cinema has been in our lives. What is it about these transformative years that is so transfixing? Panelists include King Jack director Felix Thompson, Bridgend dierctor Jeppe Ronde, and Gored director Ido Mizrahy. Moderated by Variety’s Gordon Cox.
