This is a panel discussion on Generational Drama looking at how the relationship between different generations is often depicted as a battle of will, power and status, or of one-way care-giving between younger and older generations. Along with film-maker Ken Wardrop, TV Executive Helen O’Rahilly and chaired by Gráinne Humphreys, Director of the Dublin International Film Festival  we will consider how culture depicts the relationship between different generations and what that says about our value-systems and stereotypes.
