SUMMARY:Familar Touch
LOCATION:93 Main St Waterville\, ME 04901
DESCRIPTION:Part of Cinema Explorations (https://www.watervillecreates.org/mainefilmcen
 ter/cinex/), a wintertime community-curated film series.\n\nMany films show
  us experiences we have never had nor do we ever expect to have. Ruth (Kath
 leen Chalfant) and her family are experiencing something we will find famil
 iar. It is also likely that we have pondered whether Ruth’s fate could be o
 ur own. When her son (H. Jon Benjamin) arrives, she mistakes him for a suit
 or. Their “date” takes them to an assisted living facility Ruth does not re
 member she had previously selected for herself. Among her fellow memory car
 e residents, Ruth feels certain she is somewhere she does not belong. As sh
 e slowly begins to accept the warmth and support of care workers Vanessa (C
 arolyn Michelle) and Brian (Andy McQueen), she finds new ways to ground her
 self in her body even as her mind embarks on a journey all its own.\n\nThis
  coming-of-old-age feature from writer-director Sarah Friedland (the 2025 I
 ndependent Spirit Someone to Watch Award-winner) compassionately follows th
 e winding path of octogenarian Ruth’s shifting memories and desires while r
 emaining rooted in her sage perspective. "Friedland’s film, as sharp as it 
 is soft, conveys both the terror of losing the life you recognize, and the 
 intermittent, fragmented joy of finding it again."—Guy Lodge, Variety.\n\nW
