In "When the Body Says Yes", an experimental film by Dutch artist and filmmaker Melanie Bonajo, which premiered at the Venice Biennale, the essential human need for touch is central. The film invites to a journey of discovery into micro-movements and emphasizes the intensity of movement and encounter. Bonajo presents touch as a fundamental language, essential for trust and consent, and explores the relationship of people to their bodies and sensuality in a playful, open and humorous setting.
