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.

Together, Regards Hybrides and FORM 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.

November 2025 Feature

Trace, Tread
Jenna Berlyn

An otherwise typical day in the studio is shifted when a dancer’s notes animate into geometric objects. The magic that exists in the mundanities of the everyday is made physical as the dancer stirs the room with her energy and ideas. Memories of movement hang in the air until the momentum of ideas are exhausted.

This film was supported by the 2019 FORM Commissioning Funds in partnership with Company 605, Cineworks, Charles Street Video and Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers.
We would like to thank the BC Arts Council and the City of Vancouver.

Hiatus

Facing the camera and time, a group of people inscribe themselves in the urban landscape of Montreal. Two women emerge from the group and act in a jerky interval. Through speed and slowness, false connections are unveiled in a meditation that is both intimate and public. At the corner of the Square Victoria, cars go by at a high speed behind the silhouette of dancer Karla Etienne's meticulous movements.. At the heart of La Fontaine park, under the guise of tall trees, dancer Emilie Morin puts in opposition the calm of her movements with the business of families and activities in the park. About fifteen faces appear to punctuate the rhythm of those hatched dances : youth and elders close their eyes in front of the camera that scrutinizes them. Their faces’ micro-movements are thus revealed under the effect of compressed time in the video image. Music composition by Benoit Paradis is also made of sampling and improbable connections, combining the echo of timeless musical pieces and the sound of everyday life. The temporality of this screendance work redefines itself from one minute to the next.
