Nora

Alice and Emily Stein, Directors, United Kingdom

For older women, our society can often seem like an unwelcoming place. What space is there for older women in our world when even the luminously beautiful. Where we do celebrate the beauty of older women – laughter lines, wrinkles and all – it’s often a cynical marketing move from advertisers wanting to tap into the lucrative ‘grey pound’, rather than a genuine attempt at diversity.

And while women like Meryl Streep continue to kill it, for every Meryl there’s a thousand overlooked, talented women being shunted to the sidelines or made to play roles (in films, or in life) that aren’t worthy of their gifts.

London-based creative duo Alice and Emily Nowness' series challenges how our society views ageing to celebrate the vitality of older women
