The Place We Love

A film commissioned by The Word and produced by Tom Kelly and Unified Films specifically for those living with Dementia. 

The Place We Love has been inspired by our original Lost Dialects exhibition which explored traditional North East words, phrases, songs and more, many of which are now rarely used. The effect of the exhibition on visitors with various stages of dementia was so profound that we commissioned the film to capture what the exhibition explored.
