STORY

What if technology is designed to keep us lonely?

Set against a global loneliness crisis, LOVE APPTUALLY follows a French journalist’s journey from her early fascination with Tinder to an investigation of the technologies and business incentives mediating our search for human connection. Through her investigation, the film explores how a multi-billion-dollar tech industry is quietly reshaping humanity’s most intimate pursuit: love.

At a moment when AI and the future of human connection are becoming defining cultural conversations, the film speaks directly to questions audiences around the world are confronting in their emotional lives.

LOVE APPTUALLY is the final film in Emmy-nominated director Shalini Kantayya's trilogy exploring the changing new frontiers of human and machine life, following CODED BIAS and TIKTOK, BOOM, both nominated for the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize. With this new work, Kantayya investigates how Big Tech has evolved from capturing our attention to shaping our intimacy—and the technologies now pulling the strings of the human heart.
