&lt;p&gt;Do you enjoy thoughtful discussions about films? Are you interested in how cinema can deepen our understanding of ageing and the life course?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join the Centre for Research on Ageing at the University of Southampton for &lt;em&gt;Reel Reflections&lt;/em&gt; &amp;mdash; a special event supported by the British Society of Gerontology (BSG).

&lt;p&gt;Featured Film:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Wild Strawberries&lt;/em&gt; (1957)&amp;comma; directed by Ingmar Bergman&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the introspective journey of a 78-year-old professor as he travels to Lund University&amp;comma; confronting memories and people from his past. (The film is presented in Swedish with English subtitles.)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to Expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A short welcome and informal meet-and-greet&lt;br /&gt;
Full screening of &lt;em&gt;Wild Strawberries&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Refreshments followed by guided small-group discussions with prompts such as:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;What does the film reveal about later life?&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;How do its depictions of the life course relate to your own experiences?&lt;/li&gt;

To celebrate&amp;amp;comma; we are organising a Gerontology Reunion on Friday&amp;amp;comma; 19th June 2026&amp;amp;comma; at the University of Southampton. We aim to bring together as many former Gerontology students&amp;amp;comma; staff&amp;amp;comma; and visitors as possible. The event will provide opportunities to network&amp;amp;comma; reminisce&amp;amp;comma; and share experiences of studying and working in the area of Ageing/Gerontology.</content_snippet><content>
&lt;p&gt;(Please note that the timing for the event falls on the Friday before the British Society of Gerontology&amp;rsquo;s (BSG) Emerging Researchers in Ageing (ERA) Conference (22nd-23rd June) and the BSG Annual Conference (24th-26th June 2026)&amp;comma; both taking place in Oxford&amp;comma; which is within easy reach by train from Southampton.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are a former student or staff and haven&amp;#39;t already received an email about this&amp;comma; we probably don&amp;#39;t have an up to date email address for you! Please get in touch (ageing@soton.ac.uk) or &lt;a href='https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=-XhTSvQpPk2-iWadA62p2DcWRr-SllFFkq0oJZp2sBNUMDhVSFVTREJWU0gxN1RUQlRPV1o5NVNQMS4u'&gt;fill in this registration form&lt;/a&gt; by 20th March 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
