It has been six years since I first “discovered” these little known, immensely reassuring and increasingly numerous movies and novels about the transformation of life’s second half. Our efforts to introduce them to wider and wider audiences so that they can help us all to outgrow the negative and increasingly inaccurate notion that life after fifty is all about stagnation, isolation, and decline, have met with increasing success. I first began to show them and discuss them in the Boston area, and then won two National Endowment for the Humanities Grants to showcase them at Lifelong Learning Institutes around the country. Nineteen LLIs from coast to coast enthusiastically participated, and many of them are still running our first program The Elderquest in Today’s Movies and Novels or variations on it. I have also developed a second set of programs for LLIS and other institutions, The New Cinema and Literature of Age, Part Two: Men, Women, and Late Life Relationships, and I suspect that our list of converts nationwide now numbers in the thousands.
