| Summary: | Presents seven short dance films from around the world. Boy, considered a dance film classic, turns an ordinary boy into a superhero as he moves with stealth and grace through a dramatic coastal landscape, responding to this empty universe, manipulating it and conjuring up his own imaginary world. In Burst, a couple's intimate dance in the bedroom is interrupted by a sudden and unexpected burst water pipe; the water may be cool, but this couple burns up the screen. Cargo presents one man's pit stop on the road of life, where he pauses to rest and contemplate whether to continue the journey; sometimes dark, sometimes funny and always sexy, the performer fills the interior of a 1969 Buick Skylark with his physical and emotional self. Case Studies is a faux-scientific investigation of ASDICT (Adult Sleep Disorder Induced by Childhood Trauma) in which we're privileged to see rare archival footage from the renowned (but fictitious) Groat Center for Sleep Disorders. The sensual film Horses never die delves into the mythic concept of metamorphosis; issues of birth, development, and renewal are ignited through movement. Motion control takes one glamorous and ageing dancer, traps her in the real world, then smashes into her private reality, and tries to control her movement, contain her emotion ; she already has you beaten in this bizarre journey of entrapment The Duchess is a psychological portrait of a lonely and demented aristocrat, who is filled with long repressed memories and conjured demons |
