YOUNG @ HEART documents the true story of the final weeks of rehearsal for the Young@Heart Chorus in Northampton, MA, whose average age is 81, and many of whom must overcome health adversities to participate.

Although they have toured Europe and sang for royalty, this account focuses on preparing new songs, not an easy endeavor, for a concert in their home town, which succeeds in spite of several real heart breaking events. Shown with the short film GEORGE AND ROSEMARY. GEORGE AND ROSEMARY is an animated romantic comedy about two golden agers who prove that passion is not exclusively for the young.

This program examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the related debates over artistic expression, copyright law and, of course, money. The film traces the rise of hip-hop from the urban streets of New York to its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. For more than 30 years, innovative hip-hop performers and producers have been re-using portions of previously recorded music in new, otherwise original compositions. When lawyers and record companies got involved, what was once referred to as a "borrowed melody" became a "copyright infringement."
