Lodged by Annie Wells Standard Motion 31 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Screen Memories and Age Scotland, the national charity for older people, for coming together on a new project to encourage older people to reconnect with their memories of the golden age of Bollywood cinema; understands that the Bollywood Screen Memories project was launched at the Shanti Bhavan Social and Cultural Centre on 25 April 2024; notes that Screen Memories, which is run by volunteers, has used cinema and TV as a platform for older people to share their mutual interest in films, creating a stimulating and engaging group environment; believes that for many ethnic minority older people, Bollywood remains a huge part of their lives, and understands that, by focusing on Bollywood movies from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the project will offer people the chance to connect with others and reminisce about their memories attached to particular films and the iconic songs and dances that they feature.
