Free Monthly Screendance Features

Regard Hybrides and F-O-R-M are partnering to feature two films each month from each of our collections. From Regard Hybrides, they will feature a film from their online collection, and from F-O-R-M, we will feature a film from our collection of commissioned films from the past 9 years.

Together, Regard Hybrides and F-O-R-M will be making monthly collaborative posts to highlight a film from each of our collections, as an effort to uplift and celebrate screendance/dance film works throughout the year from artists across Canada.

 

July 2025 Feature

Prowl
Ankita Alemona & Raam Kumar

PROWL delves into the journey of two huntresses' determination, fragility and willingness to fight. With slow agile crawls and fast decisive attacks, they weave intricate webs to enchant their prey, revealing the immense power, readiness and emotional preparation needed to pursue the hunt. The immense uncertainty as to whether they themselves will become prey pushes them, again and again, to prove their ability to survive in a brutal world. This piece thus visually and somatically depicts the various realities of the burden of becoming and staying ‘The Huntress.’

Ice, crevasse and drift

This film is a metaphorical piece about death and the perpetual cycle of life. Set along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, the drifting blocks of ice caught in the river’s current represent the flow of time.
