The Screen Guide

A documentary that offers an insight into the lives of the residents who call Hollywood Hotel home. Once a silver service establishment, Hollywood Hotel has approximately 70 residents, most of whom receive some form of government support. Gone are the waiters and silver service. In place is a strong sense of community complete with the constant struggle for survival. These are people living on the fringe of society - the elderly, the unemployed, the de-institutionalised - who rely heavily on their fortnightly pension. The film focuses on the lives of four individuals set against the backdrop of pre-pension and pension day.
