Cinedans - Shorts II

Dos Ambientes Argentina, 2004, 15 minutes Director: Rodrigo Pardo Choreography: Rodrigo Pardo Music: Miguel Rausch If all places are filled with the events that have taken place there, how many stories would fit into a 30m² flat? In his own flat, Pardo filmed the making of his production Cuadrado Negro Sobre Fondo Negro in his living room. Dos Ambientes is a witness to the world of an artist, including the Argentinian tango and a fight scene in Batman and Robin style. 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. 
Contrapunto United States/ France, 2004, 2 minutes Director: Jean-Pierre Jacquet Music: Juanjo Mosalini & Pablo Pensavalle In a cartoon animation, a dance couple lose themselves in the intimacy of the Argentinian tango. The wonderful music stirs the emotions, and the passion created between these two people is expressed by a sound, a movement, a glance and a trembling hand. 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. Sonata Spain, 2005, 2 minutes and 20 seconds Director: Juan Bernardo Pineda Choreography: Juan Bernardo Pineda Music: Antonio Vivaldi Sonata is a dance film in which the choreography of the camera and that of the two dancers are opposed to one another. But, thanks to the work of the editor, a unique short film has been created in which dance and film go hand in glove. Reimerswaal The Netherlands, 2004, 7 minutes Director: Clara van Gool Choreography: Suzy Blok Music: Vincent van Warmerdam The starting point for this film is the poem Reimerswaal, by Gerrit Achterberg. We are witness to a crime of passion. A young couple experience their last fatal moments in a dance in and under water. A.P.A.A.I. (Acontecimientos Posibles Aunque Altamente Improbables) (Possible Although Highly Unlikely Events) Spain, 2005, 10 minutes Director: Suilem Morales Choreography: Erre que erre Music: Martín Sebastián Fuks and Vitor Joaquim The film A.P.A.A.I. is a visual explosion of a moment that shatters into a thousand pieces. Three scenarios of a single happening in a lobby are an invitation to create detailed images. Feverish deliriums refer to a dream state where the borderline between reality and dreams is transgressed and the only clear thing is the strange realisation that we are alive. Some of the events are possible – but extremely unlikely. TV FU The Netherlands, 2006, 2 minutes and 30 seconds Director: Soultrotter Choreography: Raphael Hillebrand and Master Ken TV FU is an over-the-top, no-budget film showing that everything and everyone is battling one another nowadays. Even two friends watching TV together get into a fight over the remote control. Life is war! Tra La La United Kingdom, 2004, 3 minutes Director: Magali Charrier Choreography: Magali Charrier Music: Jules Maxwell Three young women transport us to an imaginary world from their past. We see a poetic reflection of a brief recollection of childish innocence that takes us back to our own childhood memories. A light-hearted combination of real images and chalk drawings are reminiscent of Saint Exépury’s ‘Little Prince’ who, full of conviction, sees in the drawing of a hat a snake that has just devoured an elephant. Childish imagination is an art form in its own right that sometimes appears to have been forgotten by adults. Alt i Alt (All in all) Norway, 2004, 4 minutes Director: Torbjørn Skårild A diver is on the point of diving off the board into the deep end. Skårild manages to create the scene in such a way that you are swept along to the climax in a rhythm of movement and sound. The defiance of gravity is like a metaphor for freedom, but what lies under the surface of the water once a state of weightlessness is achieved? Anyone can fly, but only a few can land.
