There are infinite ways of decoding affection and granting it a radical – that is, the most essential – degree of importance. We are constantly learning how to accomplish this task, striving to identify the appropriate words, narration, and proportions. From auto-affection (Brazilian “Self Reflections”), to affections we direct towards others (“It’s Never One Side”), we are always looking for appropriate ways to communicate: ways based on consent and clearly defined boundaries. Our affection manifests itself in our shared fantasies (“Bound by Size, United by Heart”), in how we tell others about them (“Touch Yourself”), and in what we don’t actually have to say out loud (“Intimacy”). Still, it is always radical, precisely because it is necessary. Films in this section allow us to have a look at affection from many, often radically different perspectives.
