ODE TO JOY
|
DIRECTOR: Michael Koshkin
93-year-old Naomi Friedman and her elderly friends at Brookdale Galleria in Houston have found an unusual way to fill the
long days of their retirement. Banding together to form the Kazoo Ensemble, they delight children in their community with
their seriously performed, silly sounding music. Some graduate beyond the ten cent kazoo and attempt elegance in humming,
but most members join to give their fleeting days purpose, bringing joy to themselves and those around them. Despite having
no obligations, and an encroaching sense of irrelevance, these seniors refuse to quietly fade away.

blind when a case of Shingles marred his vision. But instead of panicking, he started painting the world as he saw it - in
all vertical lines. Jim has created a revolutionary new painting style called 'Lineillism.'
