Brief Synopsis: The world’s only social club for centenarians, the 100+ Club, has some remarkable members on its books. At a time in their lives when most people have long given up on chasing dreams, Ruth (101), Olive (103) and Dexter (a spring chicken at 100) are on a mission to complete some unfinished business. Ruth - the planet’s oldest competing athlete - is out to break her own world throwing records, all-round entertainer Olive is determined to stage one last performance, while outback author Dexter hopes to finish his fifth and quite possibly last book. Most centenarians insist they’re not terribly special (“age is just a couple of numbers on a piece of paper”) but as The 100+ Club reveals, there’s nothing at all ordinary about this group of Australians.
Filmography: Ex-photojournalist Mandy Lake came home to roost (roast?) in the glorious world of filmmaking in 2004 when she co-established Flickchicks film production house with producer Margie Brown.
Since then, Mandy has directed, written and edited dozens of documentary-style films for government and corporate clients including, Sudden Impact and Second Chance for the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, Walk in My Shoes (a federally-funded doco about bullying which is now touring Australian schools), Through Our Eyes (for Guide Dogs Queensland), and an Australian Story-style series of docos for the Queensland Government about the impacts of workplace injuries.

简介:100+俱乐部是世界上唯一的为百岁老人开办的俱乐部。在俱乐部的记载中,俱乐部里有些卓越非凡的成员。在他们一生中,大多数人已经很久就放弃追逐梦想,但罗斯(101岁),奥利弗(103岁)和德克斯特(100岁)仍在为一些未完成的事业而努力着。罗斯是世界年龄最大的竞赛运动员,准备打破她自己扔铁盘的世界记录。多才多艺的奥利弗决定这次比赛要比上次比赛前进一步。然而德克斯特希望完成他第五次比赛,这可能是他最后一次的比赛了。绝大多数百岁老人坚持声称他们不是非常特别的人群(“年纪只是纸上的数字而已”),但是正如100+俱乐部透露的一样,关于澳大利亚这一群人的事情中,没有什么是平常的。
导演简介: 前摄影记者曼迪•雷克,在马基•布朗共建Flickchicks影片制作工作室时,于2004年重新开始从事影片制作了。
此后,曼迪为政府和公司导演、编写和编辑了几十部纪录片风格的影片,如《拔云见日》,《昆士兰消防和救援服务的第二次计划》,《穿着自己的鞋行走》(联邦资助的关于校园霸凌的纪录片,现正在澳大利亚学校巡回播放),《通过我们的眼睛》(关于昆士兰的导盲犬),以及为昆士兰政府制作的关于工伤影响的澳大利亚故事风格系列纪录片。
