Motion Picture New Collaborations in Dance and Film
Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage presents a new series of films pairing top choreographers and filmmakers.
Inside The Blind Iris
An experimental cinematic dance film exploring oppression and the absence of belonging. Set in the main character’s confused state of mind, dancers appear as haunting spirits and memories, as he journeys in search of his own self.
AIR DE TEMPS
AIR DE TEMPS tells of an urgent need to speak out, to delve into lost dreams, to confront your demons and regurgitate your resentment – have a voice. It’s a powerful process of taking action to shed the cloak of failure handed down generation after generation.
Fresh from the success of BLKDOG, Olivier award-winning Botis Seva teams up with Brazilian director Douglas Bernardt, who has worked with artists such as Arlo Parks, on Inside The Blind Iris. The film AIR DE TEMPS sees two-time NYDC Guest Artistic Director Alesandra Seutin collaborate with Ben Williams, whose passion for hip hop has seen him work with the likes of the BBC.
Collaboration is at the heart of these films, where choreographer and filmmaker work together on an equal basis – the filmmaker revealing and enhancing the work of the choreographer and the choreographer providing the source material or material for the filmmaker to work with.
