TOUCH

One of the two films of the 71 top submissons selected out of more than 400 submissions.

 

Touching has been a “touchy” subject during this pandemic, especially the physical touch we have learned to repress from each other. As humans, we constantly seek for a connection with the world around us and the film captures the energetic communication that is exchanged through contact.

​

Music paired with "Malachite" by Roger and Brian Eno.

 

From The Music Center's Website:
 

A Quiet Scene: L.A. is a free film project and screening initiative that asked the public to create an original short film that is an authentic reflection of Los Angeles during current times, using a track from Roger and Brian Eno's Luminous EP as the score. A Quiet Scene: L.A. provides a Los Angeles perspective to the highly successful 2020 public audio-visual project—A Quiet Scene—created by Deutsche Grammophon and the Eno brothers in 2020 in support of their Mixing Colours album; this program featured short scenes shot by people from their newly found confined spaces at home in the first wave of the global pandemic. The competition/screening project is presented by The Music Center, Los Angeles’ performing arts center, and dublab, a community supported radio station based on Los Angeles, and in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon.
