can u feel me thru the screen

DURATION: 3:31
CAN U FEEL ME THRU THE SCREEN is a collage of small moments. With an accumulation of video clips from 11 performers living in different places (Montréal, London, NYC, Salzburg, Seattle, Toronto, and Bermuda), this film celebrates the perseverance of performers during the pandemic. The film exists to recognize all performers/creators and the difficulty of having to transition to digital work. We are able to stay connected online, but what is missing when we only create for the internet? How can we make video performance feel real? Can you really feel it through the screen?

FORM is based in so-called Vancouver, in what is colonially known as Canada, on the unceded and stolen traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. FORM continues to reflect on and bring attention to connection to bodies, land and movement through filmmaking, documentation and storytelling. We are grateful to share and witness these stories together while inspiring movement towards positive change, wherever you may be.
