“Of the Heart” is a unique documentary by Alex Salsberg capturing real and raw moments of intergenerational friendship through recorded conversations between four pairs of friends, illustrated by charming and inventive animation. These friends talk about everything: walks, smells, hope, regret, loss, dementia and the medical system, with plenty to laugh about too.
“Of the Heart” was created in partnership with Hebrew SeniorLife as part of the JArts and CJP Community Creative Fellowship. The film will screen as part of a documentary block at IFF Boston.
