“Morning” is a dance film dedicated to those we've lost to the Covid-19 pandemic. Produced by award winning dance filmmaking duo, Wilder Project, the film honors the grief that has accompanied us through this period. In an exploration of aliveness, transition, and catharsis, the dancers claw through different textures of earth and water with a sense of reverence and surrender. Set to a reimagining of the traditional Appalachian spiritual, “Bright Morning Stars”, “Morning” reminds us of the beauty of the sand under our feet and the breath in our lungs, and asks its viewers to consider that our collective reflection inspire us to create a world where we all can live.

Stillness in the Wave

Hong Kong|CHEUK Cheung|2022|28'

Language: Cantonese, Mandarin| Subtitles : English


This documentary portrayed one of the most established dance companies in Hong Kong which has a history of over four decades. With a tradition of blending Chinese dance and ballet together in the training, the dance company has set sail for re-creating its identity by picking up different cultural traces, meditation and Chinese martial arts, both forms and philosophy.
Through the monologues of the dancers, the film unveiled their persistence, fear and self-questioning in the quest for reforming their dance forms and training to embody their cultural roots. This is indeed an uncertain journey to the cultivation of inner peace and the discovery of the essence of movement and stillness.

Dear Dancer

Sweden I Marcus Lindeen I 2022 I 23'
Language: English, French | Subtitles : English


As the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing theaters and dance companies to close down, the American choreographer Deborah Hay decides to let her dancers at the Cullberg dance company in Sweden continue their work and perform her latest piece in front of an empty theater in Stockholm. From her home in Austin, Texas, she writes them a letter proposing an experiment where instructions for movement will be replaced by a set of unanswerable questions. The film follows the dancers on and off the stage and captures their different reactions to the experiment. One dancer enjoys the freedom of a choreography without given movements while someone else finds it difficult and is too proud to change. Another dancer feels that the work allows her to return to her childhood and for the first time truly understand why she became a dancer in the first place.

Synopsis

Time is a cycle of rupture, decay, shedding and disappearance, as if flowing in a form visible to the naked eye. When it disappears, only the track of the body's existence is left. It seems that there are traces to follow, but it is also increasingly mottled. When standing in a dilapidated space, he was imprinted with the passage of time. The body here is only a portrait of nature. Without the slightest deliberate manipulation and decoration, it slipped and fell repeatedly, as if it were a drop of dust, gently scattered. So repeated, with the passage of every minute and second, and quietly silent.

Synopsis
x
"Wind" and "Flow" In Chinese, write FENG and LIU are universal and common natural images that exist in different forms in all corners of the world. Turbulent, placid and extended, this language of naturalness is not to be over-translated. In China's unique cultural and ideological system, combining the two words has fused into a transcendent spirituality and an expansive attitude toward life.

When we focus our attention on the Wei and Jin dynasties, taking medicine and drinking wine, singing and drinking furiously, resting in the spiritual corners of the self and seeking the ultimate expression of individual pleasure, we again reach a coincidental consistency with the spirit of Dionysus in ancient Greek mythology.

​We have attempted to present a culturally penetrating body language in a readable and comprehensible expression, inquiring into and exploring the traditional Chinese intention of "Feng" and "Liu".

The creative environment "Old Factory" has a reinforced concrete "labyrinth-type" structure, showing a staggered perspective and density relationship between the pitches. Combined with the dynamic and static contrast between the body and the building, a logical relationship for the image is created. . We can't predict everything that will happen, but behind every story is an "entry" and a transition from "unknown to known".

THREE

​Japan | Naoto Iina | 2022 | 17'48


William Klein photographed Tatsumi Hijikata, Kazuo Ohno, and Yoshito Ohno in Tokyo in 1961. This "Dance Happening" by Klein captured the gang of dancers walking through the town of Ginza, improvising and dancing. "Dance Happening" is the only photographic piece that captured these three legendary Butoh dancers together. 

As well as featuring Butoh and dance itself, “THREE” is also an attempt to archive Butoh, incorporating video, exhibition, performance and VR technology. Takao Kawaguchi, Dai Matsuoka, and Mikiko Kawamura each accurately copies the choreography of the three Butoh legends; Kazuo Ohno, Tatsumi Hijikata, and Yoshito Ohno. The video was initially created for the TOKYO REAL UNDERGROUND in 2021 and later re-edited as a dance film with additional scenes. 

The choreography of "Tango, Bird" (1971) by Kazuo Ohno is part of the performance piece "About Kazuo Ohno" (2013) by Takao Kawaguchi, which is known for breaking the taboo of the Butoh world by copying Ohno's choreography from the video recordings of his dance performances. Dai Matsuoka, who Yoshito Ohno taught in person, aims to hand down Yoshito's dance to the next generation. To be more precise, Tatsumi Hijikata choreographed Yoshito Ohno, and Yoshito Ohno handed down the choreography to him. Mikiko Kawamura has also perfectly copied the choreography from "Hosotan" (1972). Each copy is not a plain imitation but reproduces the choreography through detailed analytics. 
Original Japanese title 三 (san).

三

日本 | 飯名尚人| 2022 | 17'48

​
1961年,William Klein於東京拍攝了舞踏創始人土方巽、大野一雄、大野慶人穿梭銀座街頭的即興表演和跳舞場景,造就了唯一一輯同時捕捉這三位傳奇舞踏舞者的 《Dance Happening》攝影作品。
《三》既以舞踏和舞蹈為特色,同時又融合錄像、展覽、表演和虛擬現實技術去嘗試保存舞踏的藝術。影片中的舞者川口隆夫、松岡大和川村美紀子都準確地複制了三位舞踏傳奇 - 土方巽、大野一雄、大野慶人的編舞。《三》原是為 2021 年的 TOKYO REAL UNDERGROUND 創作的影片,後來剪入更多場景重新製作成舞蹈電影。
舞者川口隆夫的舞作《關於大野一夫》(2013)打破舞踏世界的禁忌,於部份編舞中透過觀看演出錄像複製了大野一雄的舞作《Tango, Bird》。舞者松岡大由大野慶人親授,並立志將大野慶人的(更確切地說,是土方巽編予大野慶人的)舞蹈傳給下一代。 舞者和川村美紀子也曾完美複制過土方巽《疱瘡譚》(1972)的編舞。 每個復刻演出都不是純粹的模仿,而是通過細致分析精確重現傳奇的舞作。

Dreams of Love

Japan | Naoto Iina | 2015 | 07'54


Butoh dancer Yoshito Ohno manipulates a puppet of his father, Kazuo Ohno, who is one of the founders of Butoh. Or is the puppet manipulating him? Yoshito's gaze toward his puppet father's back is sometimes rigid, hateful, but also kind, admiring, and full of respect. 'Liebesträume' was filmed in Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio, the legendary and historical studio full of conflict between father and son through dance. The space is full of posters, props, costumes of the day, and a photo of Kazuo with Pina Bausch. 'Liebesträume' is based on the footage of Yoshito Ohno in the stage performance 'On Kazuo Ohno' by Takao Kawaguchi, edited as an alternative short film version. Original title "Liebesträume". Japanese title 愛の夢(Ai-no-yume).​

Shapes of Aether

​Macao, Austria
Elias Benedikt Choi-Buttinger
023|6'38
Synopsis
x
"Shapes of Aether" is a dance film that explores the concept of aether through movement language. Aether, also known as the fifth element, is a concept that has been interpreted to be a divine and transformative force that surrounds us. The film presents an ethereal, unseen force that permeates our surroundings and can be captured through the fluid movements of the human form.

The primeval landscape, a testament to the power of the four elements, earth, air, fire, and water. Through the dancer’s body, the different elements communicate, embodying a connection between the human body and nature. The film also delves into the idea that consciousness can form physical shapes and how this connection to aether can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself, with the power to facilitate a personal transformation. The dancer becomes a conduit for the elements, allowing their energy to flow through and be expressed in the art of cinematography.

​The film features the movements of the body, words, sounds, and human understanding combined to create an immersive experience, inviting the audience to connect with the primal forces of nature and reflect the pulse of the earth beneath their feet.

Beyond The Broken Hoop 2.0

​​Macao, Austria
Elias Benedikt Choi-Buttinger
2023|16'18
Synopsis
x
Beyond The Broken Hoop 2.0 is an experimental dance film that was created in the sacred nature of the Austrian Mountains. The film invites viewers to consider the relationship between humans and nature, and explores this theme through the physical language of movement.

​The film follows dancers as they move through an untouched natural environment, using their bodies to communicate and connect with the surrounding landscape. This process examines the inherent connection we all share with the rural world, while also highlighting the negative space that often exists between humans and the essence of nature. By depicting our existence as "unnatural" beings within the greater context of the natural world, the film invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of this relationship and consider the ways in which our urban bodies and movement aesthetics can connect with the raw elements of pure nature.
