SYNOPSIS

In war-torn Northern Sri Lanka, a Tamil mother searches for her son, taken by a supernatural presence, as her quest intertwines with testimonies of women whose loved ones vanished under military rule.

WORLD PREMIERE

54th International Film Festival Rotterdam, 2025

"In Rajee Samarasinghe’s visually stunning, genre-bending debut, we are taken on a painful journey many don’t know exist. YOUR TOUCH MAKES OTHERS INVISIBLE uses a mix of haunting imagery, interviews, news clips, and re-enactments to tell us the story of the thousands upon thousands missing members of the Tamil community during the Sri Lankan Civil War which began in the 1980s and lasted for 26 years. Decades later, the families of those who vanished are still left wondering... what happened to their loved ones?"
