Father and son. Secrets unsaid and unembraced grudges separate them. A wall that guards silences, withheld tears, glances and shy contact. The lack of communication. In spite of it, the desire to embrace everything because they are the same story.

I Am Still Waiting, comes from the restless and still of isolation and a self-imposed attempt to rewild oneself back into life. The text prose by Elena Hecht and performance by Leslie Kraus express an untethering from memory and a dissolution into pastoral abyss. The work was filmed in residency on location in Longford, Ireland.

“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.

​This short film tries to recap the personal experience of a dancer, whose old house and the associated memories are overshadowed by the fast-going urbanization. On a bright sunny day in the near future, when skyscrapers erect from the ruins, will we forget all the textured past.

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.

"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".

Hook the memory of the years, arouse the awakening era. I'm in charge of my body... Born under the red flag, long in the spring breeze, tide in The Times of the flood but displaced. This is a process of self - remodeling and self - transformation, is the whole era of the tsunami - like transformation. Personality and commonness collide, danger and opportunity coexist, alienation and rebellion quietly into the tide of breathing and sharing a common destiny.
