SHELF LIFE launches with an unusual premise: might spending time among people who age cheese yield insights about what it’s like for us humans to grow old? This is a peripatetic journey to far-flung, unexpected locations – ranging from Japan to Tblisi.  It offers an immersive culinary experience mixed with visual delights that inspire new questions and curiosities. At the heart of the film are the people we meet along the way: the cheese makers, mongers and librarians – whose perspectives on decay and dissolution intrigue the mind and charm the soul.
