ALT I ALT
Tobjorn Skarild, Norway, 2005, 5m
A tantalizing tease with all the suspense of a thriller, shot in an indoor pool with the support of the The Norwegian Film Institute.

TOUCHED
David Hinton, England, 1994, 15m
Choreographer Wendy Houstoun and direrctor David Hinton tell a tale of interweaving relationships with a subtle dance performed by playing on a focus thrust forward and back in a crowded bar.

APROP
Aitor Echeverria, Spain, 2007; 6m, 35mm
Sleep interrupted by the brush of a familiar touch. The sigh of that voice
inviting you to play. The most everyday gestures become, at close range,
an extraordinary dance. Choreographed by Carolina Alejos, produced by Roger Amigo.

THE COST OF LIVING
Lloyd Newson, 2005, UK, 35m
Lloyd Newson of London's famed dance theatre company DV8 takes us to a faded seaside town where street performers David and Eddie struggle to find work and romance. A film that hurls provocations and scalding humor at notions of how the fit and unfit are supposed to act. THE COST OF LIVING sets itself apart by defining a potent new direction for the concept of dance for the camera.
