About Moving Pictures

The Project

In Australia, limited awareness of dementia in people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds often results in delayed diagnosis, poorer prognosis, and a higher burden of care on families and health systems.

Moving Pictures, an innovative multi-media project, aims to change this through the production of short films co-produced with people from CALD backgrounds. The Moving Pictures team has so far produced 28 short films with Greek-, Spanish-, Italian-, Vietnamese-, Hindi-, Tamil-, Mandarin-, Cantonese- and Arabic-speaking communities. For each language, there are three films: Detection and Diagnosis, Navigating Care, and the Carer Journey.

The Moving Pictures films are based on the stories and lived experiences of carers of people living with dementia, and the expert views of key service providers. 

The team has also developed comics to complement the films. These are available on-line, but can also be ordered free of charge directly from the Moving Pictures website using the order form.
