Shalini Kantayya (Dir), 81 minutes, USA / France / Norway, Western new York Premiere

Tired of swiping without results? Follow one journalist’s quest to unpack the dating app algorithms shaping modern romance as she reveals how, in an already lonely world, technology, bias and profit are increasingly influencing who we meet and why.

Love Apptually follows the journey of a French journalist who, initially captivated by Tinder’s promise, embarks on a quest to uncover the dark truths behind its algorithm. Woven with deeply personal stories and insights from leading scientists and journalists, the film exposes how a multi-billion-dollar tech industry—dominated by one company—is quietly rewriting the rules of attraction and reshaping one of humanity's most intimate pursuits: love.
