In an aging Europe cinema, once an art of youth, has become a privileged site for the re-articulation of old age and gender. AGE-C studies how European films represent old age and gender, how producers and filmmakers respond to the growing relevance of old age and gender, and how their films affect audiences and impact society.
Research
The AGE-C Dataset
Designed to support both quantitative and qualitative research, the dataset enables scholars, film practitioners, programmers, and policy-makers to explore patterns of representation, career trajectories of ageing film professionals, and transnational trends related to ageing and gender in European cinema.
AGE-C Online Webtool
The AGE-C web tool is an open-access interactive platform that enables users to explore and analyse representations of ageing and gender in more than 6,000 European films through an accessible, data-driven interface developed in cooperation with King’s Digital Lab.
