"I am dressed up for the theatre of my life every day." – Lynn Dell

Since 2008, New York photographer Ari Seth Cohen has been snapping fashionable senior citizens for his hugely popular street-style blog, Advanced Style. Now, with help from director Lina Plioplyte, he's bringing these vivacious, vibrant and outspoken older ladies to the big screen.

Ranging in age from 60 to 90 years old, the women (and gentleman) of Advanced Style offer proof that even in our youth-obsessed culture, age is no barrier to being fabulous. Their message is simple: growing old doesn't mean you have to let yourself go, and their passion, energy and creativity provide a masterclass in living life to the fullest.

Don't be afraid to dig through your closet and dress to the nines for the screening of this engaging documentary.

"Advanced Style goes some way towards reclaiming high fashion for all ages and backgrounds, not just the young, privileged and white." – CineVue
