Dementia Action Week 2024
Dementia Action Week is an awareness raising campaign. Each year, Alzheimer’s Society works with individuals and organisations across the UK to encourage people to act on dementia.
From 13 to 18 May the Institut Français d’Écosse will be showing three films depicting dementia which broaden understandings of the condition : Vortex (2021) by Gaspar Noé, One Fine Morning (2022) by Mia Hansen-Løve and The Father (2020) by Florian Zeller. Each film screening will preceded by an introduction by Dr Malgorzata Bugaj (University of Edinburgh) and followed by a Q&A with a panel of specialists involved in Dementia research. On 31 May, don’t miss the symposium Dementia in Film, Media and Culture at the Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, which seeks to bring together academics and practitioners interested in the ways in which dementia is represented in culture and what consequences these representations might have in public domains.
