Cinedans - Shorts I

Montevideoaki Urugay, 2005, 5 minutes Director: Octavio Iturbe Music: S20 Montevideoaki is the filming of the solo performance ‘While going on a Condition’, by Hiroaki Umeda. In a snappy and rhythmic montage, we see Umeda against different, very atmospheric, city backdrops of Montevideo, Uruguay. Pod United Kingdom, 2005, 3 minutes Director: Shelly Love In her film Pod, the British artist Shelly Love shows a bizarre encounter between her characters and a couple of white cloths that lead their own rhythmic lives by way of reverse technique. An imaginative and absurdist little work of art in which you become ‘wrapped up’ for a few minutes. 
The Hunt Canada, 2005, 3 minutes and 45 seconds Director: Marlene Millar and Philip Szporer Choreography: Sharon Moore Music: Derek Aasland The Hunt investigates the inner processes of a hunter. It shows the transformation from calmness to tension and extreme tension, the conditions that are summoned up to justify killing, the delirium and the gleefulness that hints at insanity once the prey has been shot and the satisfied feeling afterwards that brings the hunter back to his normal state once more. Fold United Kingdom, 2004, 3 minutes and 5 seconds Director: Vena Ramphal Choreography: Vena Ramphal Music: Rama Gheerawo Fold takes place between the external splendour of a costumed dancer and the emotional depth of her movements. The film deconstructs the visual language of classical South-Asian dance by close-up camera shots and choreography that is totally adapted for the camera. The spectator is given a view of South-Asian dance from an unusual, intimate perspective. Transcendental Suite United States, 2005, 10 minutes and 16 seconds Director: Mimi Garrard Choreography: Mimi Garrard Music: Part I Tom McGrath. Part II Daniel Bernard Roumain Transcendental Suite is the sequel to two previous films in which director and choreographer Garrard wants to look further than our reality. In Transcendental Suite, Garrard explores her inner life in relation to the macrocosm. The split-screen editing makes it seem as if you are watching a moving mandala that takes you into space or into the depths of a soul. dance without drugs? why not now Canada, 2005, 3 minuten en 20 seconden Regie: Hans Camille Vancol Choreografie: Hans Camille Vancol Muziek: Giovanni Serpelloni Deze korte film vertelt het autobiografische verhaal van een danser die mijmert over zijn verleden, die zweet in het heden en zonder te hallucineren zijn toekomst visualiseert. Een door kunst en zelfontplooiing gedreven zoektocht naar ware identiteit met als doel verlossing. Tremor United Kingdom, 2005, 4 minutes Director: Ravi Deepres Choreography: Wayne McGregor In the industrial setting of a Hush House (sound-proofed room), a woman dances to an increasingly insistent rhythm. The mechanical beats and dark bass drive her to a climax in which her body can no longer fight the power of the sound. Shrill and overpowering beats create an apocalyptic experience in which the battle appears to remains undecided. Film United Kingdom, 2005, 20 minutes Director: Shelly Love In a place far far away there is a factory where people test a common household product in strange and inventive ways. Love uses industrial rhythms and reverse techniques to portray her story in an absurd and sometimes almost humorous way. Seawall United States, 2004, 20 minutes Director: Dir Olive Bieringa and Otto Ramstad. Choreography: Olive Bieringa & Otto Ramstad & all the dancers. Seawall is a physical and sensorial investigation of the seawall, water and rocky shore of Lake Superior, the world’s largest ice-cold fresh water lake in Grand Marais, northern Minnesota. The dancers perform a playful ode to an ancient lake. Aanvang | 13.00 Entree | 5 euro, korting is niet van toepassing Voertaal | n.v.t.
