TOUCH is a dance film that takes place in an imagined future: where for unmentioned reasons, humans have been living without physical touch for a very long time. We witness our characters interact with a simple mechanical device in a large, private space. This is in order to experience the touch of another human being, for the first time in the new physically distant future.

Brittney Canda is a dance artist, film director, and educator based in Montreal, Canada. Her creative processes are collaborative, and often combine a multitude of artistic disciplines. Canda’s works are theatrical, emotional, physical, and imaginative, often exploring themes of magic, isolation, unity, and violence. Several of her projects have been supported by Canada Council for the Arts, Factor, and CALQ. 

The film will be part of the screening on 28.10.2022, 18:30-20:00, Festival and Congress Centre – Varna.
