IN TOUCH

Nowadays, it is possible at any time with the aid social media to communicate between Iceland and Stare Juchy. But can Skype and Co. really replace human intimacy, or are both sides now just living with projections? Taking this question literally, the film goes to those people still living in the small village, to the parents and grandparents. Projected onto house facades, the walls of rooms, meadows, garage doors, dining tables and dovecotes, the video messages from afar try to maintain something like intimacy and solidarity with those who stayed behind, but the emigrants appear in the digital family reunions like ghosts from the past. What remains is a longing – on both sides. KM
