Every Contact Leaves a Trace

About

For most of her life, filmmaker Lynne Sachs has collected business cards that strangers took from their wallets and placed in her hand. Now, in this digital age, being in the same space as other people happens less and less. Sachs chooses seven cards from hundreds and dedicates herself to discovering how and why certain people marked her. When she can, she clings to the clues and seeks reunions. But when there is no trace, she risks stories and imaginary futures. A lifetime of tactile, face-to-face encounters makes her recall past identities from hand to hand.
