Director: Anna Bogomolova

Physical Culture invites us to explore physical movement, to explore who we are when we dance and why we do it. Placing some universal existential questions into refreshingly queer, playful packaging. It’s rave, it’s queer, it’s for everybody.

Director / Choreographer: Kati Kallio
Composer / Sound: Janne Laine

Choreographer: Lucia Kickham
Filmmaker / Sound: Luca Truffarelli

A short film that softens edges and seeks to exist in a less defined space. An anxious body moves to release some control, allowing chaos to sit beside the order.

A young woman yields to a predetermined story. Someone’s son wrestles inside the abyss of his own skin.

A film reflecting on humanity in all its glory, innocence and desperation, power and vulnerability.
