Every Contact Leaves a Trace Lynne Sachs • 2025 • USA • 83' • DCP Portuguese premiere For most of her life, filmmaker Lynne Sachs collected business cards that strangers took from their wallets and placed in her hand. Now, in this digital era, being in the same space as other people happens less and less. Sachs chooses seven cards from among hundreds and devotes herself to discovering how and why certain people left a mark on her. When she manages to, she holds on to the clues and seeks reunions. But when there is no trace, she risks imagined histories and futures. A lifetime of tactile, face-to-face encounters makes her remember identities passed from hand to hand.
