A collaboration between director Jayeon Park and artist Emi Sri Hartati Combet, this film showcases how the artist wears and embodies her tattoos. In his daily life, words adorn a daily life rich in the nature that surrounds him. Her tattoos are the links she weaves between the different worlds in which she chooses to live. From outside to inside. Here and now inside. This short portrait gives voice to the living and inhabited body. Photos © Vincent Biraud

Como Bailar en un Mundo Raro

During the second confinement, a dance class will change the daily lives of many people from Marseille. This film starts from a visceral need to share this experience in order to make people want to exchange again in such a complex period. This short 14-minute documentary was shot over several months and presents the portrait of three people who come to the dance class.
How can dance participate in self-affirmation in a society where the image is central? How to reclaim your body in the public space?  More than just entertainment. Depending on the context, dance can become a means of militating and regaining power in a pacifist way.  Photos © Gabrielle Giraud

Deviens

From the space left empty of embraces, only the frantic circle of memories remains. A dance, Bodies stretch, tear and entwine ... Persecutions, War perhaps, as the breath of absence sounds and the weight of loneliness sounds. A man wakes up naked in the ruins of a past conflict. Then comes the embrace of the memory of the loved one.

We make noise but we no longer listen to each other anymore, for you I whine, for me you scold, most of the time we scornfully look at each other, each of us in the comfort of our own world. So we mask ourselves as we miss ourselves, to better hide the gap between us. Today I take the pen and write. Photos © Avant l'Orage

Grief's original idea takes root in the discovery of C. Pinkola Estés’ book Women Who Run With the Wolves (ed. 1989). And from F Peyrard’s strong desire to share a certain vision of mourning through wilderness. M Gozy supported these intuitions with his imagination and his sensitivity towards camera work assisted by B. Fiche’s technicity. This short movie is the result of the fusion between imaginaries and multiple artistic backgrounds. Photos © MaxGozy

‘I want to make a film about women’ is a queer, speculative, documentary dance film love letter to Russian constructivist women.  It asks what the revolutionary women artists of the 1920s said, what they did, and what they might have created had it not been for Stalin's suppression. Photos © 2019-The Physical TV Company

A crossing in the Parisian night with a sister and her autistic brother. A stealthy complicity. A slip of vision. She invites him into her world ... he invites her into his own universe.

Legal Tender is a dance film which considers how our mindless consumption of media distorts our perception of beauty. With the support of a cast of over 40 performers and set to an original score by composer Michael Gallen, the film observes the empathy that can exist between people when we allow it, and explores what community can mean if we embrace it. Ultimately Legal Tender asserts that a colorful world is a beautiful world. Photos © Danijel Bogdanić

Legal Tender

This is the story of a sculptor and dreamer, and of her papier-mâché statue that is animated and comes to life in a long, oneiric sunset … Her hands shape the material in contact with the primordial elements. These hands give form to a life and history of sensuality and irony, play, and the unsaid… matter is lost in the complicity of gazes: the artist and the work are laid bare, as is their ambivalent relationship of love and continuous seeking. In this game of mirrors, dream and reality fuse together in a lyrical world that frames the love story without end of one who creates and of one who is created. And in the inspiration of sculpture, the emotion of the shape and beauty of art comes back to life. Photos © Massimiliano Battistella

The school merging consists in concentrating isolated primary schools in centralized educational institutes. In 2019, 400 French schools are concerned by this reform.
The Last Children is a choreographic film made in single-shot with the children of a school on the eve of its closure. Through a metaphorical fable, it bears witness to the achievement of the desertification in the rural world and the death of its villages.

Making Men examines the question of masculinity. This dance film zooms in on 4 individuals in the process of becoming men. As is expected, they proceed unquestioningly into manhood through various stages of their lives, adopting the clearly coded characteristics allowed by society.
However, a feeling of unease, in the very depths of their being, oppresses them. They feel uncertainty but also something else, harder to define…
Shot in the breathtaking landscape of Zimbabwe, the film features strong and rhythmical choreography but also a special camera work that intensifies emotions inspired by the movement. Photos © Antoine Panier

In the pursuit of a feeling of belonging we found ourselves always moving forward, escaping both realities. Through the journey we can create a space of acceptance, where we can embrace our multiple cultures, our experiences — OUR OWN REALITY.

Through the eyes of a child, NUEX portrays the inability of human beings to expose themselves in order to reconnect with each other. The family has reached its breaking point. If they do not unite, the days of decadent debauchery are counted. Our planet is dry and our plates are soon to be empty. Are we aware of what is happening under our table? What is happiness and what makes us human? Photos © Cia Nadine Gerspacher

Summer 2019. In the streets of Rio de Janeiro, women gather together through the rhythm of samba and carnival, taking over spaces traditionally occupied by men. Their powerful bodies and strong voices disturb and question the norms of a patriarchal Brazilian society. While Brazilian democracy is under threat, they build a place of healing through resistance and joy, writing a new page into Rio’s culture. Photos © Eleonore Ardelanot

Silk Paper and Bruises is an experimental stop motion dance film made by Gabriella Engdahl exploring norms and expectations in the dance industry where traditional stereotypes are still impactful. Partly based on her personal experiences and notes, it takes us through a poetic experience of hungry dressing rooms, self-doubt and cracking bones. The film uses barbie dolls to portray a bigger issue within the society of how womxn's bodies are represented, presented and talked about. Photos © Gabriella Engdahl

Silk Paper and Bruises

The Night Manifesto is a 4-part experimental short film exploring the intimate significance of partying. It draws the portrait of a community, who wonders on Monday what they’ll do on Friday. It’s a celebration of rave culture and nightlife – it’s an ode to all those whose only mean of survival is to dance through the night, their eyes closed in the ecstasy that techno music provides.

This is Us was created and performed by students from New Directions Pupil Referral Unit in Newham, London, alongside Protein’s professional dance artists.

Can we share a dance remotely? This first "choreographonic" chain tends to create a dimension parallel to the 2020 lockdown, which enables imaginated physical contacts. Every single video has been shot individually. Consequently of a first improvised dance, each dance answers the previous one, until turning itself to the next one's reference, and so on and so forth. "Right next to me" has been nominated "Pépite Jeune Création" at the International Festival of Animated Dance in 2020. Photos © Céleste Vidal Ayrinhac‌

The film deals with touching in the junior competition. High-level sport gives a young athlete real strength of character, but on the other hand, sometimes confronts him or her with facts that are devastating for his or her development as a young adult. Today, the numerous revelations by sportswomen are loosening tongues. A fault in a microcosm, a fact that is unfortunately all too common, it seems to me a necessity today to tackle it through this short film, Triple Boucle. Photos © Marie-Laure Blancho

"True Sound Facade" is a poetic dance and animation film in which a dancer realises their digital self feels truer than their real world self. It was commissioned by the Barbican museum in London and stars dancer Kino McHugh.
By combining live-action and animation, the film becomes a celebration of how our inner and outer lives merge with each other playfully in the act of artistic creation. It takes inspiration from the japanese notions of 'Honne' - the true sound, one's true feelings - and tatemae - the façade we put up to live in society.

mAPs e-talk.1 focusing on POWER & FREEDOM

Alone in a mirror factory, a man paints strange patterns on his body. Questioning his reflections, he loses touch with reality. So the evil that consumes him talks through his body which begins to move, dance, contort. Slowly he's falling apart, teetering between madness and lucidity.

The Call of Dance is a raw, immersive collection of moments in modern Senegalese dance that captures the complexity of this new era of multiplicity.
Throughout the film, dancers’ movements embody individuality, history, emotion, and aspiration, sharing everything from solitary meditations on the nuance of the everyday to the kinetics of collective experience. At the Dakar Cultural Center, in a Krump battle, by the ocean, before a wrestling contest, at a village initiation ceremony – all of life is a site for the medium of dance, and every stage contributes its own energy.

The short film Carolina seeks to identify the place that Carolina Teixeira occupies in the social-political-cultural context in which we live. Framing this woman is giving visibility to countless women, northeastern Brazilians, artists, and disabled people in Brazil. From your point of view we can perceive a different world. Or the best translation of her world would be the dance that she carries in her relationship with space, matter, movement, in her own day life choreography?

A dance film dedicated to the architecture and urban scenery of Hong Kong, the incredible busy metropolitan and the prototype of numerous sci-fi films, in a poetic and abstract way. The cinematography and editing emphasize the structure of spaces in a graphical style. The dancer interacts with the extreme high skyline and narrow living spaces via solo dance. Without clearly showing her facial emotion and her real character, she presents the stress, the anxiety and the coldness from this dystopia city.
