Proving that the old like to have just as much fun as the young, a group of pensioners in Germany have recreated scenes from classic films for a 2014 calendar.
Klassiker 2014 was conceived by the Contilia Gruppe, a healthcare company whose interests include a number of residential care homes in Essen, as a gift for residents and employees.
Shot in a professional photo studio (Werntges Studios) the models aged 75 to 98 struck poses from films including Blues Brothers, Saturday Night Fever and Titanic.
My personal favourite, with a Berlin connection of course, is Martha Bajohr as Sally Bowles from Cabaret.
You can read more about the project (auf Deutsch) on the Contilia website and download a pdf version of the entire calendar.
I love the photos. It looked like everyone really enjoyed doing this project. How can I obtain/purchase a calendar? How much does it cost?
Unfortunately, as it was a gift/promotional item, I don’t think the calendar is available to buy.
