NYC PREMIERE Across the globe, people turn to dating apps in search of love, connection, and companionship, navigating the highs and lows of finding a mate by swiping a screen. Through candid testimonies, expert insights, and revealing statistics, the film explores the psychology behind the apps, from dopamine-fueled matches and successful pairings to rejection, despair, anger, misuse of personal data, and user violence. Timely and thought-provoking, the film examines how technology is reshaping our search for love. - Karen McMullen
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Shalini Kantayya and protagonists Jerry Allen Carnegie, Sangeeta Singh-Kurtz, and Lakshmi Rangarajan.
All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
