CHIMERA, 7min., South Korea, Dance
Directed by Minsu Kim
A presence curls up behind a thin veil on stage. From below, the serpent’s head—'Chimera,' a camera—slithers its way up. The red recording light in Chimera’s lens flickers on, awakening the presence.

SPARKS, 2min,. France, Dance
Directed by David Ravel
Alone on a vast stage, a dancer moves through a space sculpted by light. He observes, senses, letting the sensations guide his body. An instinctive dance emerges, visceral, almost organic. Each movement becomes an exploration, a silent quest in resonance with the luminous pulses enveloping him.
