Dementia Friendly: Funny Face (U)

S'Wonderful! S'Marvelous!... She's the fairest lady of all!

Dispatched on an assignment, New York City-based fashion photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) is struck by the beauty of Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn), a shy bookstore employee he's photographed by accident, who he believes has the potential to become a successful model. He gets Jo to go with him to France, where he snaps more pictures of her against iconic Parisian backdrops. In the process, they fall for one another, only to find hurdles in their way.

Our Dementia Friendly screenings are designed to meet the needs of people living with dementia along with their families and carers. Hosted by the Ageing Creatively team these sessions offer a supportive and accessible environment with reduced sound levels and low lighting, freedom to move around or sing along and has a short comfort break in the middle of the film. 

With support of the BFI Film Audience Network, awarding funds from the National Lottery in order to bring this project to more audiences across the UK.
