Description

The Sensory Child: Sight, Sound, Touch examines a poetic film form evident in contemporary cinema that seems intent on capturing the textures, the materials, and the sensations of childhood. These films foreground the child's point of view, construct a child's gaze, and mobilise an aesthetic that evokes a sensory recollection of childhood.
