< Back to Past Projects >  The Ties That Bind

The Ties That Bind The Ties That Bind is a film directed by film maker Ivan Riches as part of the intergenerational work that Age Exchange did with Lewisham Council. The aim was to look at, both in the film and a subsequent theatre production, the memories that existed about family ties and relationships within the older volunteers and Youth Theatre at Age Exchange. The film explored the idea that a subject like family memory can provide a bridge between generations where stories are shared on an equal footing and without many of the inhibitions that restrict communication between generations. In the film there is a mixture of script and authentic personal memories from Barrie and Laurence, which created a powerful piece of film. Within our families we all have and hold the memories, people and stories that if we take the time to talk can bring generations together, make us laugh and cry and make sense of who we are.
