Beyond Time

Directed by Passia Pandora, Canada

"Weaving metaphor into dance, filmmaker Passia Pandora explores the nuanced world of personal grief."

Wings of Legacy

Directed by Neeta Mittal, USA

"Wings of Legacy" is the story of two women from a world full of movement and a heart of dance that has no boundaries. "Hip-hop and ballet were chosen as motifs to represent the contradictory entities of youth and wisdom, ability and disability, life and death."

Desperate Horsewife

Directed by Paul Lazarus, USA

Parody of a musical theatre film involving an unconventional love triangle.

Tiny Dancer

Directed by Stefan Georgiou, UK

Very rarely do dreams actually come true but that doesn't make it wrong to have them. How do you deal with not doing what you love? You Do It.

Contrapunto

Directed by Jean-Pierre Jacquet, USA/France

Hand-drawn animation of a dancing couple in Buenos Aires, exploring the details of the tango.

The Double Woman

Directed by Carla B Guttmann, Germany

The Double Woman is a film about a modern dancer who confronts her childhood in a haunting, carnal dance. As she contorts and moves her body, childhood ghosts and memories are released. It is a film about the secrets the body hides and how one woman frees herself through movement.

Hand Sum

Directed by Eva Colmers, Canada

Miro moves through life without much conviction until a magical incident helps her escape her daily routine.

Rules of the Road

Directed by Deborah VanSlet, Canada

Rules of the Road is a dance video on hitchhiking ;  a metaphor for the calculated risk.   The video expresses both the exhilaration and the anxiety associated with taking a chance and breaking out for parts unknown.
