SUMMARY:Familiar Touch Screening
DESCRIPTION:This is a public screening and discussion of FAMILIAR TOUCH. Ruth (Kathleen Chalfant)\, a retired cook\, prepares breakfast in her sunny and cozy kitchen — a dish she seems to have made many times before\, although small and puzzling errors now punctuate her comfortable routine. When her son (H. Jon Benjamin) arrives to dine with her\, she mistakes him for a suitor. Their “date” takes them to an assisted living facility\, which Ruth does not remember that she had previously selected for herself. Among her fellow memory care residents\, Ruth feels lost and adrift\, certain she has found herself somewhere she does not belong. As she slowly begins to accept the warmth and support of care workers Vanessa (Carolyn Michelle) and Brian (Andy McQueen)\, she finds new ways to ground herself in her body\, even as her mind embarks on a journey all its own. Writer-director Sarah Friedland’s coming-of-old-age feature compassionately follows the winding path of octogenarian Ruth’s shifting memories and desires while remaining rooted in her sage perspective.  Sarah Friedland is a filmmaker and choreographer working at the intersection of moving images and moving bodies. Her work has been presented in festivals and art spaces including the New York Film Festival\, New Directors/New Films\, Mubi\, MoMA and the Performa19 Biennial. From 2021 – 2022\, she was both a Pina Bausch Fellow for Choreography and a NYSCA/NYFA Fellow in Film/Video\, and was named to Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film in 2023. Her short film trilogy\, MOVEMENT EXERCISES\, is distributed by Video Data Bank. Sarah has been working in creative aging for the last eight years\, as a caregiver to artists with dementia\, and as a teaching artist facilitating intergenerational films and workshops for older adults. FAMILIAR TOUCH is her debut feature film.\n—\nADMISSION\n– FREE and open to UCSC affiliates\n– Doors are scheduled to open 30 minutes prior to event start time\n—\nPARKING\n– Parking by UCSC permit or ParkMobile.\n– Baskin Engineering Lot #139A and Core West are the closest parking lots to the Communications Building.\n– Visitors with DMV placards or plates may park for free in DMV spaces\, Medical spaces\, or ParkMobile spaces without additional payment\, or in timed zones for longer than the posted time.\n– More information provided by UCSC Transportation & Parking Services (TAPS) \n—\nThis program is open to all UC Santa Cruz affiliates consistent with state and federal law.
