Touch Crimes

In a cold, empty dystopia where human connection has become a crime, two people do the most radical thing imaginable.

They touch.

Touch Crimes is director Sally Fenaux Barleycorn's bold and beautiful exploration of what happens when the most fundamental human instincts to touch, to love, to embrace, to fuck, become acts of resistance. Bare, open, utterly real people fighting inhuman politics with nothing but desire and each other.

The lighting is sensual. The chemistry is the kind you feel through the screen. And the sex is exactly as urgent and alive as it needs to be when everything is at stake.

The film also won the Sexiest Sci-Fi award at the 2008 Toronto International Porn Festival's Feminist Porn Awards, recognizing Sally Fenaux Barleycorn's daring vision of desire in a dystopian world.

Because sometimes the most political act is also the most intimate one.
