Sarah Friedland is a filmmaker and choreographer who works with both dance and film. She creates experimental films, video installations, and live performances where the camera and the body move together to explore how we live, move, and relate to each other. Her work is based on real movements from everyday life, memories, old videos, and different dance styles. She often works with many types of people---from professional dancers to teenagers and older adults---using interviews, re-enactments, and improvisation to shape her pieces. In 2024, her first feature film Familiar Touch premiered at Venice and won two major awards.
