Some films stay with you long after the credits: a father’s hidden sadness, a love that unsettles everything or the quiet beauty of an ordinary Tokyo morning. This September, House Samyan is devoting a weekend to stories like these.
Running for two days, the Longevity For All Film Festival & Talks brings cinema and matters of the heart together in a programme by OKMD, Documentary Club and the Media for Change Association. Alongside three films are talks and hands-on workshops exploring memory, love and healing.

Here’s what’s screening:
- Aftersun (2022) – a tender portrait of childhood, pieced together from a daughter’s memories and the sadness her father hides behind his smile.
- The Bridges of Madison County (1995) – a sweeping romance that weighs desire against duty and asks how we live with the choices we make.
- Moriyama-San (2017) – a delicate documentary that finds magic in the everyday and helped inspire Perfect Days.
