Cinema Parallels: Tactil Terrains
This edition of Cinema Paralleles unfolds as a camp-laboratory inviting filmmakers, artists, and thinkers to walk, sense, and create through a direct connection with the landscape and with each other.In a time of hyper-abstract connectivity, we return to the ground. To the tactile. To the primal gestures of inhabiting, observing, recording, and intervening. We are drawn to cinema made with the skin.
