EVENINGS OF DANCE FILMS - ACCOMPANYING PROGRAMME OF THE BRATISLAVA IN MOVEMENT 2023 FESTIVAL
5 th , 6 th October 2023
Cinema Film Europe - Pistori Palace
A programme for the Bratislava in Movement festival has been curated by the Prague Dance Film Festival (FTF) and will present a selection of top dance films in two screenings.
The first evening will feature a documentary in which Alain Platel and Mirjam Devriendt pay tribute to art, but also to humanity, which seems to always be balancing between creating something spectacularly beautiful or horribly cruel.
In the second evening, FTF will present a selection of the best films of the past few years in the genre dance for camera! We will show unique stage footages, dreamy and action-packed dance films awarded at festivals.
Founded in 2009, the Dance Film Festival is a biennial focused on the presentation of dance films, from dance documentaries to innovative recordings of dance pieces and, most importantly, the genre of dance for camera. The festival is a presenting and producing body and an institution to support the creation of dance films. In 2021, the festival launched its education platform FTF EDU.

Roselyne (Czech Republic)
Directed by: Tereza Vejvodová
Première 2020
An audiovisual poem based on the true story of Roselyne, a woman who forgot to live her life. She can be a reflection of our doubts, decisions we haven´t made, opportunities that we haven´t taken advantage of. How do we become ourselves?

Fist (Holland)
Directed by: Erik Bos
Première 2022
Patrick is angry and wants to break everything around him. When he attends a forced anger management course, he meets other angry people from different backgrounds. The therapist, with her experimental approach, tries to squeeze out their brutal energy through dance. Will Patrick be able to find a way to channel his furious energy into something that is valuable to him, or even valuable to others? The film won the main prize at the Prague Dance Film Festival in 2023.
