A hundred years of love and courtship on the silver screen, with music created by Sheffield celebrated singer-songwriter-produce Richard Hawley. Love is All takes us on an exquisite journey through the twentieth century, exploring love and courtship in all of its shapes and sizes on the silver screen across decades of unprecedented social upheaval. From the first kisses ever caught on film, through the disruptions of war and on to the birth of youth culture, free love and gay liberation we follow courting couples as they flirt at tea dances, kiss in the back row,... shack up together and fight for their right to love whoever they choose. This celluloid love letter is directed by Kim Longinotto (Divorce Iranian Style) and edited by Ollie Huddleston (From the Sea to the Land Beyond) using a selection of spellbinding footage from British archives, including the BFI National Archive and the Yorkshire Film Archive, all set to a stunning Richard Hawley soundtrack.

Documentary showcasing love and romance in films over the last century, directed by Kim Longinotto. Since the introduction of the video camera and the production of moving images, love and courtship have been key topics for film-makers showcasing their work on the screen. This feature uses archive footage from the British Film Institute to document how the theme of love was displayed throughout the ever-changing twentieth century as it witnessed the break-out of war and the birth of youth culture. Amongst the archive footage are the very first kisses caught on camera and the change in attitudes towards the display of same-sex relationships on-screen.
