Author: redactie redactie

<p><b>I you Love <br /></b>Denmark, 2004, 24 minutes<br />Director: Ulrik Wivel <br />In this film, the Danish dancer Nikolaj Hübbe, who is very experienced in dancing the great classics, works with director Ulrik Wivel to explain the meaning of the classic ‘La Sylphide’. They give a new look to Bournonville’s only tragedy by their way of rehearsing and filming. What happens to James on his wedding day when he takes a nap? What happens when he lets his passion speak out. Is it just a dream, or…? </p><p><b>Wedding day</b> <br />Uruguay, 2004, 5 minutes <br />Director: Florencia Varela <br />Music: Van Morrison and The Chieftains <br />In her dreams, a charming, long-legged woman manipulates love in front of the camera. She creates a universe in which she endlessly kisses and dances with a man, like a happy bride and groom. This is the world of love till death us do part. </p>
<p><b>Iris</b> <br />Germany 2004, 5 minutes <br />Director: Lutz Gregor <br />Choreography: Prue Lang <br />Under the title Frankfurt Dance Cuts, Lutz Gregor made four films in collaboration with ex-dancers from Ballet Frankfurt, which is no longer in existence due to subsidy cuts. The dancers are taking their first choreographic steps in the form of these films, one of which is Iris, a short film noir about a woman, a man and a hotel room. The contrast between passion and passiveness brings this film to its climax. </p><p><b>Mountain Air ( Höhenluft)</b> <br />The Netherlands, 2005, 25 minutes <br />Director: Annick Vroom <br />Dance and choreograhy: Hans Hof Ensemble <br />At an altitude of 2200 metres, far removed from daily life, a group of sophisticated people with diseased lungs try to escape the strict regime of the rest cure in any way they can. While the guests lie for hours under camel-hair blankets on the veranda, drinking litres of milk and consuming copious meals, time flies. During jolly sleigh rides and lavish dinner dances, they are eaten up by secret amorous desires and jealousies. mountain Air (Höhenluft) shows the microcosm of a sanatorium at the beginning of last century. </p><p>Aanvang | 18.30 uur<br />Entree | 5 euro, korting is niet van toepassing<br />Voertaal | n.v.t.</p>
