Familiar Touch: The Aesthetics of Aging

We are thrilled to welcome American filmmaker Sarah Friedland to the UCSF Memory and Aging Center for a screening of her feature film Familiar Touch. Awarded the Luigi de Laurentiis Lion of the Future for best first film and Best Director award at the Venice International Film Festival (2024), this film intimately follows an octagenarian woman's transition into assisted living and the shifts in identity, memory, and physicality that follow.
