摘要：This article looks at the relationship between the esthetic and documentarycommentaries offered by two National Film Board of Canada (NFB)productions, chosen because they use the documentary form to interpretaging and care in Canada for Canadians, offering a Canadian example ofan issue that is of international importance. The first film, House Calls(Ian McLeod 2004), follows the work of Mark Nowaczynski, a physicianwho photographs his elderly patients to illustrate their dignity amidstwhat he perceives to be their fragility and vulnerability. The second, A Yearat Sherbrooke (Thomas Hale 2009), follows artists Thelma Pepper andJeff Nachtigall who work with residents of a Saskatoon long-term carefacility Pepper continues her longer term practice of photographing theresidents and Nachtigall takes on a new role of artist-in-residence in whichhe mentors them in their own creative development. Analyzing the roleof photography in each film, the article shows that, together, the filmsdemonstrate that images of aging beyond mere decline may play a role inreimagining how care for older adults takes place.
