Free Monthly Screendance Features

Regards Hybrides and FORM are partnering to feature two films each month from each of our collections. From Regards 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.

Mother’s Map
Heather Lamoureux

Recalling our self that believes her instincts, that does not apologize for being, that knows there is no hierarchy, that doesn’t retract her heart, that speaks her opinions, that feels, that finds pleasure, that knows life creates life.

We feel vibrancy and power in her pulse, as she suffocates we suffocate; as she is pierced and poisoned our light dwindles. As we touch her magic we remember our story, our divinity and our strength.

Haven
Meghann Michalsky

Michalsky was commissioned by Jobel Art for Earth association as one of the four choreographers in Canada to make a dance film for their project Transformations. Michalsky created Haven, a film that researches and discusses renewable resources and climate change.

The film plays between memories and past experiences, present and future. It questions: Why are we still here? Both now in the present time, but also in the future of humankind. In the film, the characters repeat this statement as they are trapped in a compound with the inability to go outside.

This is not our last word, but our last world

There’s still hope

To keep living

To have a future

To have a real future
