Older Adult Theme Film Submissions
THIRD ACTion Film Festival
Deadline to submit: January 31, 2025
THIRD ACTion Film Festival celebrates aging and older adults (seniors) while helping to create an age-positive culture shift and encourage everyone to envision their best third act possible.
2025 will be our seventh year.
We look for full-length films, documentaries, animation and shorts that feature older adults (60+) in leading roles or address issues relevant to older adults.
In late 2020, the Festival also started having online screenings outside of festival dates. If the festival is interested in using a film submitted via FilmFreeway for these screenings, they will reach out to the contact listed in the submission.
Films must feature older adults (60+) in leading roles or deal with seniors’ issues. Films should dispel stereotypes about aging and educate viewers about aging in an entertaining and compelling manner. Age-positive films depicting resilience, happy, and successful aging are especially welcome. Intergenerational stories that include an older adult are also eligible.
Also, due to the nature of our programming, the Festival may sometimes approach past years’ entrants to seek permission to use film submitted for previous festivals in the current year.
