NOTES

Title from title frames

Following six hospice patients, SEVEN SONGS FOR A LONG LIFE leads us through our changing relationship with fatal disease--with a funny, touching, and musical lens.. Thanks to innovations in medicine, one can now live for years, rather than months, after a terminal diagnosis. Coping with this uncertainty is no easy task, but with the help of the six quirky, wry subjects in this film (and an electrifying score from Mark Orton), this film brings light to a dark journey that we will all face.. Nominated for Best Single Documentary at the BAFTA Awards (Scotland). Nominated for the Gamechanger Award at the SXSW Film Festival.. "This incredibly moving documentary is all the more affecting because of the unsentimental way it’s told." - The Guardian
