2022 Images Festival: “Haptic Poetics”

We are delighted to be co-presenting the screening of Haptic Poetics at the 2022 Images Festival: Slow Edition (@imagesfestival)! Haptic Poetics screens on Tuesday, July 5 from 11AM to 11PM online on imagesfestival.com

Drawing from the outstanding pool of student film submissions, this year’s student program is curated by Bouchra Assou. The videos in the program conjure narratives of embodied, tactile, and multisensory visuality. These exceptional works foreground material reflections on rituality, collective memory, dreams, temporality, and Language. Through a blend of choreographed movement and dance, haptic sound, voiceover, and montages of skin, water, and landscapes, the films in this showcase effectively mobilize the audience’s senses and invite them to interact with/become a physical part of the work.

This program is curated by Bouchra Assou.
