Touch the Tape is a short art film made
for the Mini-Kino open call in 2024.
The goal was to create a short film
on the randomly chosen topic.
My topic was “Include at least
one close-up shot of skin.”
The original idea was based on the sentence “You can touch the tape” by Tyko Say
from the Object:Paradise collective while explaining his reasons for shooting
their events
and performances on VHS tape instead of digital.
The sentence stuck with me
and I decided
to build the film around it.
The film was shot in a single evening using
a Panasonic NV-R50 -
a VHS-C camcorder emulated directly
into the video recording software.
