“One of the most beautiful films that you will see this year”— on November 19, see Baltasar Kormákur’s Touch, a thrilling love story spanning decades and continents, selected as Iceland’s contender for Best International Feature at the 2025 Academy Awards! The program will feature a virtual talk with the director, screening after the film.

Based on the bestselling novel of Ólafur J. Ólafsson, Touch follows a widower’s emotional journey to find his first love before his time runs out. When Icelandic restaurateur Kristófer receives startling news, he sets out to track down a woman he knew long ago — Miko, who abruptly disappeared from London 50 years ago. The journey that unfolds reveals what may have been and may be yet to come.

“Pure and simple and unashamedly emotional” (The Guardian).

“An absorbing, touching and simply lovely drama” (Decider).
