Familiar Touch, at Rivertown Film

A woman in her 80s transitions to life in assisted living as she contends with her conflicting relationship to herself and her caregivers amidst her shifting memory, age identity, and desires. Familiar Touch is a gentle drama that finds life-affirming grace in the face of mortality. 2024, USA, 90 minutes. Community Partner: Creative Aging in Nyack. Discussion after the film with Dr. Marc Rothman of Lizzy Care, providing services and resources for dementia care at home.

“An exquisitely fragmentary portrait of memory loss…illuminates its protagonist’s condition with uncommon concision and grace, and with few of the formal and narrative strategies we’ve come to expect… Chalfant’s performance, for all its exquisite subtlety, is also furiously alive.” – The New Yorker
