THE BALLAD OF A HOME. Director: Keely Song & Robert Machoian. USA – 8’27
KIELO. Directors: Janina Rajakangas & Sinem Kayacan
Kielo finds it hard to sit still in class. She takes a break venturing into the corridors of her imagination. Finland – 4’00
STILL MOVING. Director: Jonny White
Is a poetic short film exploring ageing and identity through contemporary dance. Through the eyes of Dawn, a 60-year-old contemporary dancer, the film explores how dance carries the echoes of who we were, and the grace of who we are becoming.UK – 4’00
POOL. Director: Nicole Pfister
Two dancers move between dream and reality. Floating and gliding, they transform a space where emptiness meets reality and becomes illusion. “POOL” is a dance between elegance and absurdity, floating and falling, dreaming and awakening.. Switzerland – 4’42
CE QUI NOUS LIE. Director: Damien Bourletsis
What if, within the breath of one body, the echo of another was already
resonating?
In a vital surge where every movement becomes a cry, nine dancers unveil their
inner struggle across shifting landscapes: sea, cliff, city, dance studio, ancient
theatre. Nine singular territories.
Each surrenders to raw improvisation — a moment of questioning rooted in
their intimate space — where movement becomes the language of urgency: to
be, to resist, to exist.
Bodies answer, intertwine, and merge in an organic continuity, weaving bridges
between their solitary battles.
Living echoes of an invisible geometry, uniting bodies beyond forms and
boundaries.
What if what seemed isolated was already part of a vaster, elusive movement? France – 4’45
UNSPOKEN. Director: Luca Perrin
Two men meet in silence. Through dance, they explore the fragile line between desire and restraint, closeness and distance between the fire within and the silence imposed by the world.
Their bodies speak where words cannot. Each gesture becomes a confession, each breath an act of resistance.
Unspoken is a visual poem about intimacy, fear, and the quiet courage it takes to love when love must remain unseen. Switzerland – 5’03
I AM GOING HOME. Director: Emanuel Malak Mansour
A lyrical journey through grief, where dance, music, and the sea unveil the hidden tides of denial, sorrow, and rage. Lost between memory and illusion, a young man searches for his departed friend. A tribute to absence, and to the healing power of movement and nature. France – 9’55
’THE GIFT’. Director: Mikki Sindhunata
Alesya (34) lives alone in a remote house and has made a ritual of spending her birthday in complete solitude. But this year, the day takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious box appears at her doorstep.
Inside is something she cannot explain: a living, sentient hybrid being. Suspicious at first, Alesya allows it to stay. What begins as an uneasy coexistence slowly develops into an intimate and ambiguous relationship, blurring the boundaries between human and object, closeness and control.
As the being settles into her space, it begins to disrupt the routines that have long protected Alesya from the outside world. In its quiet presence, emotions she has carefully kept at a distance begin to surface.
The Gift is a slow, sensorial exploration of isolation, vulnerability, and the complicated human need for connection. Netherlands – 11’00
NA TRÍ CÉILITHE. Director: Rhys Ryan
Blending memory and movement, Na Trí Céilithe revisits the vibrant Gaelic concerts held by Melbourne’s Irish diaspora in the early twentieth century – gatherings where music and dance became vital expressions of cultural identity. With no archival footage to draw on, the film responds with striking originality, reinterpreting céilí dances through a contemporary lens. Heritage and modernity converge in this lyrical exploration of reimagined Irishness. Australia – 14’51
