“In today’s world, where we are facing so much prejudice and we are increasingly afraid of the Other, where aggressive discourses and other forms of discrimination are recently gaining a worrying influence everywhere, TOUCH ME NOT proposes us to befriend this Other, who can often be so different than ourselves. It invites us to open up our perspectives and to empathy, showing there are other ways of relating to each other, of experiencing intimacy, other kinds of beauty, body, other views on the world different than the so-called <normative> ones, and yet as human, as natural and valuable. ” says filmmaker Adina Pintilie. |
