ECSTASY FORBIDDEN
| Jonny Silver | 6' 40 | CANADA
Ecstasy Forbidden is an allegory of love in our time - told in movement - unfolding in virtual space - suspended in time - existing in paradox. In it, two lovers, held back by powerful machines, must struggle to reach each other. It's unclear whether the machines are remnants of an ancient system or makings of a future one. But they appear to be the extensions of a totalitarian will - an unseen master who forbids all sensuality - who ensures that virtual simulation is the only reality.

The Rite
| Kimmo Alakunnas | 7' 20 | FINLAND
A figure rises from the sea to dry land. This is the beginning of a journey to a city and a secret place where he finds what he's after. The theme of the film is to find a life partner of your own. The main corrector comes from the world where finding your mate is a part of the rite. The Rite uses dance and movement as well as music as an element that leads the audience along. There are no spoken lines, so the viewer has more freedom to interpret the events of the film. It is a collaboration of film- and dance art.

Cinética
| Ana Cembrero Coca | 28' 00 | SPAIN
CINÉTICA it is a moment of time in the life of four personages.
The personages express what happens to them through their bodies and dance, evoking the subconscious mind that there is in each one of them. This short film shows through the feminine body the ambiguity between a real world and an imaginary world where the personages ramble, inhabits, looks for, dances, fights or plays, without separating what it is lived what it is dreamed.

MELT
| NOEMIE LAFRANCE | 9' 50 | USA, CANADA
Melt Film is a short dance film inspired by the Melt live performance work. The short film depicts a delicate, sensual and dramatic experience of the physical body in exile and surrender. Perched on a wall and wrapped in sculptural beeswax and lanolin costumes that are slowly melting away, dancers progress in euphoria and exhaustion as if approaching the sun, melting until their souls escape their ephemeral bodies and disintegrate into light.

PATTES DE DEUX
| Maroussia Vossen Etienne Sandrin Antoine Miserey Laurence Braunberger | 10' 47 | FRANCE
Dancing in the snow
In a famous Paris square.
First step in a strange place
Where a dancer meets a cat.
Second step towards him
Who appears and disappears.
A strange relationship begins.
Human or animal no matter,
In the newborn feelings,
If somewhere there can appear
a "Patte de deux".

The way we met
| Luca Truffarelli | 16' 00 | IRELAND
‘The way we met’ is an inter-generational dance piece celebrating shared experience between generations. This film, set in Sligo in the West of Ireland, documents the many people we met while creating a live performance piece. It focuses of the role of dance within a community and how it brings people together. We heard stories and memories from dancers aged 6 to 94, lifetimes of wisdom, humour, sadness, innocence and joy. Essentially, this is a film for and by the people of Sligo.

HOPE
| Pedro Sena Nunes | 10' 00 | PORTUGAL
The collision between a man and a woman gives birth to an aquatic confinement. The woman indulges in a subtle and gracious existence. The fusion with what nature awakes on her impels to develop in new worlds, worlds of hunger, survival, laxity; an all the most sublime reality. A new life is generated; moves, breaths, flows in a place of embryonic echoes. The arousing of the touch at the earth’s material complexity obliges her to confront her own ephemeral condition and the destructive power of creation.
The man appears and disappears.

This film reflects an organic body, crushed by a time that escapes with unbearable urgency. It exposes the thesis of nonsensical world that comes into collision with the very nature of the universe. The man is placed in his failed attempt to invent a future for only human animals. In this story we are confronted with a being layered in survival that is indistinguishable from desire: the composition of a new breath
