SSF @ Fimudanza 2023

Introspectively filmed by an intrusive crew, Cecilia dances inside a forest inside a studio.

Combining choreography with improvisation, a company of young dancers creates an atmosphere of “parental absence” in an abandoned building.

Bleu exposes the naked moving body as an art form, as post-it notes fly onto the dancer’s body to cover her up and comment on the politics of the heavy American workload. Surprise Ending.

The camera bursts into the heart of the dance while the music copes with the cruelty and fever of everyday’s warfare.

The rain falls like so many tears on a young woman dressed in a little black dress. We dive into her eyes as we dive into her soul drowned by sorrow. At the bottom of the water, the woman, lying on the floor, gently up and begins to dance.

Quirky and tense, this duet is filmed in the ashes of the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire.

The beauty of a ballerina in an art gallery is contrasted with threatening red lights, which indicate her pain in executing the movement.

Covert elaborates the idea of a “space between” in an approach that deals with the surface plane to unveil and enter the deep field of the screen. The video thus has the objective of discussing the kinesthetic involvement of the viewer, in which its focus of engagement is triggered by the dynamics between the distances and the movement of moving away and closer to the camera and the dancers. In this way, Covert experiences the flow between surface and screen depth as a field of perceptual and body passages.

Exhale starts in shock, when a traumatic event makes you aware of your vulnerability. Your reality has been affected. Can you trust your senses? Exhale evokes reflection, letting go of your anger and overcoming the feeling of powerlessness. And ultimately regaining confidence in your own instincts and body.

Charmed dancers observe their own duet in a magical street art fantasy.
