What does it mean to live in the city without a place you can call your own? If living alone is our new reality, what does it look like? Where will you live when you grow older?

Conceived by Giovanna Borasi, directed by Daniel Schwartz, and produced by the CCA, the documentaries What It Takes to Make a Home (CCA, 2019, 29 min), When We Live Alone (CCA, 2020, 27 min), and Where We Grow Older (CCA, 2023, 30 min) form a three-part short film series and investigation, to examine how changing societies, new economic pressures, and increasing population density are affecting the homes of various communities. While the first film addressed homelessness, the second examines the ways in which people live alone, and the third looks at how the growing aging population is reshaping architectural and social constructs and questions the role of urban design and politics in facing these challenges.

On 29 September, join us at Gene Siskel Film Center for a screening of this series, followed by a Q&A with Giovanna Borasi and moderated by Iker Gil.
