AGE-C Final Conference: Ageing & Gender in European Cinema

The AGE-C research project will hold its final international conference on 8–9 September 2026 at Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris.
Over two days, researchers and film professionals will explore how contemporary European cinema represents ageing and gender. The programme addresses topics including ageing stardom, stereotypes and visibility, care work, retirement, creativity, sexuality and queer ageing. The AGE-C research teams will also present the project’s main comparative findings.
The conference will conclude with a professional roundtable bringing together representatives from acting, film production and the European film industry to discuss current challenges and future perspectives.
