Film Forum Presents – FAMILIAR TOUCH

July 18 - 31, 2025 - Times do vary

 

Ruth (acclaimed stage actress Kathleen Chalfant) is an elegant, meticulous woman in her 80s. Her home in southern California is sunny and well-appointed, with greenery and tasteful mementos from a life filled with family, adventures, and pleasures. Ruth is going on a journey: Her body is moving to full-time memory care facility; her mind and spirit into the unknown. In her debut feature, filmmaker Sarah Friedland invites the viewer into this journey gently, allowing us to experience both the disorienting shadows and bright micro-moments along with Ruth, as she loses pieces of her past self, while still living — engaging with the present-time flesh and blood, and kindness, of her caregivers.

Tickets: $11.00 Member $17.00 Regular
