I kept saying this one word over and over in my head -- Remarkable.....
By Bob DeMarco
I Remember Better When I Paint is a documentary film about the positive impact of art and other creative therapies on people with Alzheimer's disease. The film examines the way creative arts changes people with dementia. Changes their behavior. Brings out a special kind of vibrancy in them. Art transforms them in a way that is best understood by looking at their faces. In the words of Max Wallack "more there". More there -- imagination. More there -- personality.
When you watch this video trailer pay close attention to the look on the artist suffering from Alzheimer's disease faces. They seem alive and vibrant. So different, so very different.
