Speed dating for the 70+ generation has become a growing trend across the US thanks to The Age of Love, a groundbreaking, new documentary offering “a touching and funny look into the lives of seniors who just want to find love.” (Huffington Post)
Atria at the Arboretum, Capital City Village, the UT School of Social Work, and the Aging Services Council will host a public screening of the film to encourage a new conversation about the hearts of older adults. More information and tickets here.
The film follows the comic and poignant adventures of a thirty Rochester, NY seniors who sign up for a first-of its-kind speed dating event for 70- to 90-year-olds. Fearlessly candid about their needs and desires, these WWII babies soon discover how the search for love changes—or doesn’t change—from first love to the far reaches of life.
Defeating stereotypes and linking generations, the film will open minds of all ages to the desires of our booming older population. As one 74-year-old speed dater puts it, “No one, not even my children, asks me what’s in my heart anymore.”
Your $10 tickets reserves your seat at the theater, and will be credited back to you as a gift certificate for food and beverage that evening.
Following the screening will be a short facilitated discussion; social workers will be eligible for 2.0 CEUs for attending the movie and discussion. (NOTE — CEUs are $5, payable on-site the night of the screening.)
The theater opens at 6:00 for this event, and the movie will begin at 6:30.
In addition, Atria at the Arboretum will hold a speed dating event on Tuesday, March 15, 2016. More information will be available at the screening.
