“The Scarf” by Carla Veldman

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day, which gives us the opportunity to share this 2010 stop motion film by Carla Veldman, who made it while attending Sheridan College. The film has played in over a dozen film festivals, including Annecy last June. It explores the topic of Alzheimer’s through the eyes of a young boy who finds it increasingly difficult to communicate with his grandmother, who is dealing with the onset of Alzheimer’s.
