https://youtu.be/VCsWLe5JOk0Still Mine presented by the High Commission of CanadaMichael McGowan / Canada2012 / 103 minutes / English / NC16 / Some NuditySynopsisBased on true events and laced with wry humour, Still Mine is a heartfelt love story about Craig Morrison, an 89-year-old New Brunswicker, who comes up against the system when he sets out to build a more suitable house for his wife whose memory is starting to go. Although Craig is using the same methods his father, a shipbuilder, taught him, times have changed. Craig quickly gets on the wrong side of an overzealous government inspector, who finds just about everything unacceptable, including the unstamped wood he has milled from his own trees. As his wife becomes increasingly ill – and amidst a series of stop-work orders – Craig races to finish the house. Hauled into court and facing jail, Craig takes a final stance.“Movies like this are uncommon, perhaps because we shy away from the truths that the elderly face, perhaps because there is more money in exploiting the young and the beautiful on-screen.” — Bruce Kirkland, Toronto Sun“It’s expressed in simple devotion, the determination to assist and remain with a loved one, no matter what...This, I think, is the message of Still Mine.” — Peter Howell, The Star2013 Canadian Screen Awards Winner for Best Actor in a Leading Role2013 Directors Guild of Canada Winner for Best Direction for Feature Film2013 Seattle International Film Festival Winner for Best Actor Again, With FeelingMaxwell Blanche / Canada2017 /  9 minutes / English / PG 13SynopsisFrom Vancouver, Canada, this musical short powerfully depicts the feelings of loneliness and isolation experienced by people affected by depression — and reflects the hope that, through peer support, people can recover to live full and meaningful lives. 2017 Changing Minds Competition Winner for Best Film Living with DementiaDid you know that one in 10 persons aged 60 years and above are diagnosed with dementia? This means that the likelihood of it happening to you and me, is high. This makes the issue even more relevant.The dementia landscape in Singapore is changing. Households tend to be smaller and this means weaker support network and greater strain on the general population. Through this panel discussion, we will dialogue on dementia care for the elderly. By raising awareness on the realities surrounding dementia care, we hope to better prepare individuals for such a situation in the future. Furthermore, we want to cultivate a sense of empathy for persons with dementia and to discuss ways in which we can provide support. The panel will also share tips on what individuals can do to lower their risk of dementia, and will also highlight key nursing and dementia home care options.  (L-R Noorlinah Mohamed, Dian Karnina, Nancy Cheong, Tammy Lim, Yang Tze Khoy)Moderator:Noorlinah Mohamed is an award-winning actress, a teaching artist, creator of public engagement projects and a caregiver to her mother who is diagnosed with dementia.
