Love: The Last Chapter, her new film will world premiere at the DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver (May 6-16 – #DOXA2021). DOXA will make its streams available to audiences across Canada. Inside a seniors’ facility, director Dominique Keller follows three couples as they navigate the complexities of late-in-life relationships. Revealing the importance of intimate connections, Love: The Last Chapter is an observational film that builds fully embodied portraits of each individual in all of their indelible humanity. Dominique moved into a Long Term Care facility in Calgary (pre-COVID) and lived with her subjects for one month, followed by frequent visits as a one-woman film team. She discovered there is more to the story of long term care beyond the basics of safety, hygiene and vaccines in her verité doc Love: The Last Chapter.
The DOXA world premiere (streaming nationwide May 6-16, 2021) marks the start of the film’s festival and community run– the co-producer has also engaged an impact team.
