'Il tocco means not only touch; it can also mean a small quantity, a single brush stroke in painting, the striking of a bell or piano keys. The surroundings meet the eye. The direct touch releases an interior impulse. Surfaces open to states of being. Out of this encounter arises the image. From the images, an inner place. In film, as in the mind, are brought together distant spaces and bodies, and the layerings of time. A house, a city in Italy, traffic, and the movements of people are filmed visibly in the present. But the images embrace a living and extended continuity.' [H.S.]
