HPF PROJECT: MEET ME
If you are interested in the wisdom of elders this is the place for you. In 2025 we received a grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal to teach the skills of recording a good interview.
The project works with the aged care facilities on the Tablelands to interview and collect the stories of folk who are going into aged care. We visit them at their homes and record stories of their lives, including vision of their work, their farm, their memories of a life well lived. We edit those interviews into a short film that goes with them to their new residence as an introduction to the staff of the care facility. Staff say that this short film is worth a mountain of case notes for getting to know the person they are caring for.
We are looking for keen film makers to join this project and help collect the wisdom of the generation who have been there and done that.
