DOCUMENTARY
Olvidándonos y recordándonos a nosotras mismas
Directed by: Itxaso Díaz. 25 min. 30 sec. 2017. Euskadi – Wales.
This project aims to explore questions about the body, ageing, constraints and freedom. What does it mean to have a body that is disappearing? What is being visible and invisible with an older body? How do sensuality itself, sexuality, power and fragility operate as shown through the gestures of older bodies? Older bodies are political bodies… Reducing speed in order to be seen is a political act… Against the speed of the world.

Schwarzfahrer
Directed by: Jiří Kylián. 6 min. 2014. Netherlands
It is a meeting of a middle aged woman with a young man in this nostalgic trip dashing through time and space and through memories, which perhaps never even happened. It is a symbol of irrevocable loss of young love on one side and on the other – the only security accompanying us all our life: the terminal station (the final destination).

Night Dancing
Directed by: Barney Cokeliss. United Kingdom. 2016
Every night, Bob is transfixed by the vision of a woman dancing outside his window; every morning, he struggles to make sense of it. The line between a leap (of faith) and a pas de deux grows increasingly fine as the dance beckons.
I See You See I See You
Directed by: Chen Jiexiao. 4 min. 49 sec. 2017. Singapur
In a world of visually discernible information, one does as one sees, but consequently loses the ability to make tactile sense of reality.
What if reality went whimsical on us – could we still waddle together, even without really seeing?
