"CONTACT" Requiem for a Word

"CONTACT" Requiem for a Word

An investigation into how language is changing in the age of COVID-19. The complete upheaval of social relationships today is leading to the reinterpretation of certain terms, which have suddenly taken on a fatal connotation. This film is a funeral mass in memory of the word “contact.”

Part of THE CURVE, a collection of social distancing stories that bring us together. Enjoy more works from this series here .
