Age Is...

AGE IS meditates on the subjective experience and cultural concepts of aging. The film is an ode to the texture, the beauty, the singularity of aging faces and silhouettes, a hypnotic poem in the Dwoskin meaning of the term which is long observations of tiny details. A gesture, a pause, a look, a moment. In all his films intimacy has always played the leading role and this is also true for AGE IS, all the faces being close friends, or close friends' relatives and sometimes even Stephen Dwoskin himself.
