No You Cyant Touch It!

Shot in black-and-white and sepia tones, “No You Cyant Touch It!” incorporates an understanding of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality as it deals with Black women’s favourite obsession – hair – from an interesting perspective. The film’s creatrix and subject examines the link between her locks, her Black, queer identity, and other people’s understanding/assumptions of who she is and where she “belongs.” The stark tones and political subject matter are mediated by Rhizome Syndrigast Coelacanth Flourishing’s lyrical poetics.
