DANCE

FILMS

For this year's edition of the dance films at the Regensburg Short Film Week, we have curated them for the first time in collaboration with Wagner Moreira, the dance director and chief choreographer of the Theater Regensburg. Together, we present seven short films that focus on the body and movement as a means of communication on one hand, while also highlighting (post-)pandemic influences on our perception of movement and space. Critically, questions regarding inclusion and trauma within the dance world are raised. From intimate interpersonal relationships to ensemble work in dance theater and experimental approaches from performance art, we are presented with a multifaceted program.

In the coronavirus era, our own four walls have become the center of attention more than ever. They have become workspaces, classrooms and places of retreat. In a one-shot, choreographers Helena Fernandino and Wagner Moreira turn a house into the place of origin of an artistic creative process. The house is none other than the Schminke House in Löbau, one of the most important examples of classical modernism.

What do we say when we don't speak? This dance film looks at the fleeting impulses that live between moments of the day. Their true value lies between quiet habits that form the space occupied by desire, daydreaming and surrealism. What would a day look like if it consisted only of the meaning of what is written between the lines, of the brief snapshots of truth?

By watching the dance tutorial videos shared by countless dance teachers on the internet today, she seems to have captured some of the reasons that caused her body to strongly resist and eventually led her to stop dancing.

Between the inside and the outside of a person, in this subtle, blurred boundary, we find a door and open it. This film is a metaphysical and surreal journey into the depths of the unconscious, where contemporary dance, puppetry and cinematic illusions are smoothly combined.
