'Correspondance' / Film by Shaked Dagan / 28 min
Correspondance is a dance film cruising between the documentary, mockumentary, abstract and staged aesthetic. Communication these days is easy and available always, with a snap of a finger,and new kind of relationships emerge. Relationships that are supported by screens. Correspondance is a duet of far away people. Sending carefully shaped messages that get blurry and cut off on their way - on an attempt to establish a sort of intimacy where there is mostly concentrated loneliness. Director: Shaked Dagan more...
