The Age of Love is a 2014 feature-length documentary film that follows a group of 70- to 90-year-olds who attend a speed dating event looking for new love and companionship. It explores the question — does the need for intimacy and our search for love change over a lifetime? The film is directed by Steven Loring.
Synopsis
A diverse group of 30 seniors in Rochester, New York participates in an unprecedented speed dating event for people in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. Spurred to take stock of life-worn bodies yet still-hopeful hearts, the seniors reveal emotional needs and desires, attend the event, then head out on dates that result – offering a real-life, first-person look into the true hearts and hopes of our world's booming older population. By allowing typically-overlooked seniors to expose themselves as emotionally-intricate individuals, the film dispels ageist stereotypes, reveals how our need for connection and intimacy endures and is expressed over a lifetime, and presents an unexpected story of new possibility and growth, regardless of age.
