SWIM_SUITE part 2
Katrin Jedon, Germany/Japan, 2007, 2:45m
A frenzied solo by a memorable dancer Toshiko Oiwa, that appears to be a duet as punctuated by the talented editor.

SONATA TO A MAN OF ACTION
Marta Asparren, Spain, 2007, 5m
A toy and who manipulates it become free from what they represent and play at being different. Dance of action with plastic muscles.

VIRIL
Manivel Damien, France, 2007, 9:39m
“The nine minutes of man”. Seven men experience aspects of their masculinity: modesty, exploring one’s limits and power struggles.

ALTER-EGO
Alejandro Valbuena, Canada, US, 2007, 2:30m
A journey through the feelings between two young sisters. This railway trip is saturated with hate, envy, imitation, desperation, and love.

AQUARIUM
Nadia Roden, USA, 2005, 3m
An underwater ballet to the music of Saen Saens' "Aquarium". Sea horses play the harp as multi colored fish and creatures swim in unison, Busby Berkeley - style.

DARK ROOM
Peter Bebjak, Slovakia, 2007, 28m
Six male figures emerge from the darkness. Just like specters, they descend from the bowels of a deserted swimming pool. Waiting for one another. The darkness sets them free, rouses their passion. We are offered an insight into the most intimate insides of a man. Hidden desires, suppressed instincts, and unsaid feelings. Under the veil of darkness, everything slowly creeps up to the top. Enter with us into the dark and let yourself go.
