LA FUGA DEI CERVELLI, 5min., France
Directed by Mathieu Mondoulet, Thibaut Eiferman
We all walk according to who we are socially. The body is a receptacle for everything we have experienced. Our identities are boxes filled with ideas imposed upon us according to the norms of the world we live in. Since childhood, we are trained in a way that dictates who we will be and perhaps takes away the awareness of choosing or the freedom to choose ourselves.

UNVEILED, 3min,. Netherlands
Directed by Fynn Isar Roovers
“UNVEILED” is a mesmerizing dance film that follows a young woman as she runs through the woods, through her movements, she faces or flees from her fears, blurring reality and imagination. The film is accompanied by an original sound score of contemporary violin and cello music, enhancing the experience with haunting melodies and rhythms.

LOST GHOSTS, 2min,. USA
Directed by Vladimir Goroshnikov
Experimental dance video
THEN OR NOW, 35min., UK
Directed by Roswitha Chesher, Will Tuckett
We are living through times where every action we take - responding to a call to arms, deciding to remain passive - has become a political act. Small or large, personal or public, our actions seem to hold more weight than before. Creating work for Ballet Black in this climate felt very different to previous collaborations; still exciting, but with great responsibility. Whose story should the dancers be telling in a time of such political and social change?
BLUE BURROW, 14min., USA
Directed by Leah O'Donnell
Blue Burrow is a short movement based film fully immersed in the sun, sand, and water of Lake Huron. The shore is the meeting place for characters of different species, while the world underwater comes to represent the subconscious. Perspectives shift from fish to human to sun, and metaphors about our relationship to the natural world emerge.
