Age Is...

« AGE IS… » is a new feature meditating on the subjective experience and cultural concepts of ageing. The film is an ode to the texture, the beauty, the singularity of aging faces and silhouettes, a hypnotic poem in the « Dwoskinian » meaning of the term which is long observations of very tiny details. A gesture, a pause, a look, a moment. Throughout his films intimacy has always played the leading role and this is also true for « Age is… », all the faces being those of close friends, of their relatives and sometimes even of Stephen himself. - House on Fire
