Film(s) To Be Screened
Align
‘Align’ is a conceptual dance film that presents two radically different dance forms: ballet and pole dance. Starring Californian born professional ballet dancer Casey Nokomis Pereira and British actress and dancer Holly Weston, our black and white film is set in a North London studio and cuts back and forth between the two dancers whilst they rehearse their sequences. The juxtaposition between the two crafts is demonstrated throughout, but our cinematographic choices also allow the audience to see the parallels between the two crafts and between these two women who are united in numerous ways, including rhythm, gracefulness and athleticism.

Choreographic Legacy: Beginnings
DS Projects Lab presents the documentary film ,,Choreographic Legacy: Beginnings’’, dedicated to exploring the evolution of Romanian choreographic art in its beginnings. The documentary progressively follows the evolution of the scenic dance, from the beginning of this artistic form in Romania, in the 1900's, then during the two world wars, with savory accents about the romantic and tumultuous interwar period, but also at the moment of the establishment of communism, all integrated into the worldwide context. In video and audio interviews, important personalities of the Romanian dance, witnesses of an unique era, reveal the artistic approach of each choreographer who made history, respectively Anton Romanowski, Floria Capsali, Elena Penescu-Liciu and Mitiță Dumitrescu, thus highlighting various moments essential for the development of Romanian dance.
