Artist and director Adina Pintilie extends the research work that earned her the Golden Bear at the Berlin Festival in 2018. Celebrated by critics and audiences for the refined aesthetics avant-gardist style, Touch Me Not is a film about three people’s issues with physical contact. Today, Pintilie uses art to research the human body as a bearer and symbols of opposing ideas, both in the fields of intimacy and sexuality as well as solidarity between people belonging to the same fragmented country. The artist challenges social and visual conventions by building a cathedral of the body using a new artistic grammar.
