Age Diversity Video strikes gold in New York

Training video producer Supernova’s As Old as You Feel has won a Gold Award at this year's New York International Film and Video Festival. The Awards Ceremony took place last Thursday 30th January at Manhatten’s Tribeca Rooftop. The 48th Annual Festival attracted entries from 31 countries.

Supernova won the award in the human relations category with As Old as You Feel. The 10 min cartoon promotes a positive approach to age in the workplace. It was written and produced by Supernova director Vincent Thompson, and has a commentary by Woman’s Hour’s Jenni Murray.

Vincent commented “I’m delighted that the film has received this recognition. Age discrimination at work is a problem for young and old. We’ve set out to raise awareness and promote good practice in a witty way without being patronising�.

The engaging practical DVD comes with a supporting guide. More information and video clip at:
