SP 01 Body Talk

Film is movement, liberating the frozen image through vital rhythms. For their part, dance films represent an exponential flowering of movement: the narration also grabs hold of the beholders' bodies. One yearns to join in! The dancefloor of a ballet house becomes a white stage for a passionate homage, while a performance in a Berlin shop window serves as an instance of cultural critique. When wars allow a boy in Chad to give powerful expression to his story, great cinema is the result. Finally, the notorious crystal ball serves as a space for reflection of and on personal identity, an identity in motion.
