Jason Van Genderen – Everybody’s Oma

TV & Film

Jason Van Genderen joins us to talk about his documentary film, Everybody’s Oma.

The film is a heart-warming Australian film about Oma, the grandmother with dementia and the home videos that became a global sensation.

Selected for the Sydney Film Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival and Cinefest Oz, Everybody’s Oma follows the incredible story of Jason’s mother Oma.

Jason, a filmmaker well-known for his films made on iPhones, was obsessed with making home videos about his family, and their Dutch matriarch, Oma. As the pandemic hit, and Oma’s shrinking world became even smaller, Jason and his wife Megan embraced caring for Oma’s dementia in increasingly whimsical ways, accidentally turning her into an online celebrity.

Now a heart-warming and life-affirming feature documentary, Everybody’s Oma follows Jason, Megan and their children as they navigate Oma’s failing health under the spotlight of an enthusiastic audience of well-meaning strangers.

Everybody’s Oma, will be having special event screenings from September 21 – World Alzheimer’s Day – to celebrate the roles of Carers within our community.
