TOUCH – a motion picture movie without pictures

Mastercard, in partnership with Westpac, has created Australia’s first feature-length motion picture without pictures, embracing an inclusive cinematic experience through sound.

Directed by award-winning director Tony Krawitz (Into the Night, Jewboy, The Tall Man) TOUCHfollows a young man, Ben, who gets trapped in the consciousness of his father, Frank, after an experiment goes wrong. To escape, Ben must go on an epic adventure through his dad’s memory, learning more about a man he thought he knew.

Featuring globally recognised talent including sound editor Wayne Pashley (Elvis, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Lego Movie), composer Jonathan Dreyfus (A Night of Horror, Fat Legs), TOUCH was created by a diverse cast and crew with a shared ambition to redefine what the cinematic experience could be without pictures orienting the storyline.

Director Tony Krawitz said: “What would it be like to be in a cinema with hundreds of people and only focus on sound? A movie without pictures? TOUCH is a unique story that explores a man’s mind, memories, and tics – all without images. The film has been designed for people to enjoy and to enable people to experience what it’s like not to have your vision to orient you – to make the audience use their ears as if they’re detectives, gripped by what’s going to happen next.”
