Between pandemics, people’s revolts and male institutions, this period film cheekily combines fantastic psychedelia and handmade sets. Inspired by the life story of Julian of Norwich, a 14th-century mystic and the first woman to write a book in English.

Years into lockdown, a woman searches for a way to return to her family. "Toccata," literally "touched," is a baroque musical form meant to demonstrate the performer's technique. Shot and edited in two days in Upstate New York under COVID-19 self-isolation conditions. Starring, written, directed, camera and edit by Marit Liang.
