Aged by Culture
Abstract
Film represents a ‘possible world’ that cannot be assumed to reflect the reality outside the story-world without mediation. The integration of film into gerontological research therefore requires scholars who master a vocabulary with which to analyze cinematic form and style (mise-en-scène, cinematography, montage, etc.), have knowledge of film history and recognize the ideological dimensions of film so as to engage in critical readings of case studies. So far, the most extensive studies of ageing in film are Visions of Aging ( Cohen-Shalev 2012 ), The Silvering Screen ( Chivers 2011 ) and The Becoming of Age ( Gravagne 2013 ). Anthologies such as Staging Age ( Lipscomb and Marshall 2010 ) and Aging, Performance, and Stardom ( Swinnen and Stotesbury 2012 ) include several essays on the topic. Overviews such as Yahnke (2010) , though they do not offer critical analyses of ageing in film, indicate possible case studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
