THE OTHER SHORE, 3min., China
Directed by Xv Han
This short blends loess and water, resembling the story of Nüwa creating humans in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It also merges ancient aesthetics from Chinese dance with modern experimentation.

BURN FROM THE INSIDE, 10min., UK
Directed by Mthuthuzeli November
'Burn from the Inside' is not your typical narrative work. It delves into the exploration of music and its origins, examining why we have an innate desire to dance or move when we hear music, sound, or voices. It seeks to understand the essence of what triggers our movements and the emotional responses evoked by music. - Mthuthuzeli November.

WOMEN AT THE TOP, 56min., USA
Directed by Kathryn Roszak
This is a documentary featuring the new movement of women’s leadership in dance, the challenges and achievements, and the inspiring stories of the women. Stories are told via interviews with rehearsal/performance footage, and brief creative narratives drawing the audience further into the lives of the women. Kathryn Roszak can be viewed as the Terry Gross of dance interviews. She presents engaging, thought-provoking, cutting-edge content that draws the audience in. People ask “Is there a history of female choreography?” and this is exactly why this production needs to be done now.
