Abstract
Age is Just a Bingo Number is a 40-minute documentary exploring the experiences of a community of ageing Italians in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK . This documentary constitutes an empirical contribution to the sociology of community studies by exploring the social interactions of a small place-based group of older migrants. The documentary introduces the audience to a recreational centre in the heart of the city, where the participants gather weekly to play Bingo. This place and its sense of community aim to promote social aspects of the environment for older people. Furthermore, by illustrating how older migrants can become deeply attached to places, it raises awareness of issues of ageing in the context of migration. Thus, the film is an original contribution to the sociology of ageing and transnational migration.
