The film »A Social [De]Construction of Age« encourages people to think and examine their perceptions of age. Considering possible visions of future aging within the contexts of lifestyle and work, the film opens a discourse through a creative translation of these subjects. Using the technique of narrative age is explored through thoroughly disparate perspectives embedded within today’s cultural-political landscape.
The Socratic method is a central motif used to form an inner dialogue, perception, and personal understanding of age. In pursuit of the truth, the philosopher Socrates used a questioning methodology in his conversations as a condition for an open dialogue, always assuming he knew nothing about the topic at hand.
The work questions and furthers an understanding of the topic of ageism. It is about a standard search for new reinterpretations of age instead of concrete definitions.
