The collaboration between international dance film festivals and the guest visits of curated screenings have been an important part of Loikka’s festival programme as well as the distribution of Finnish dance films. This collaboration has a significant role specifically in distributing and promoting dance film. Cinedans Presents is screened as a tribute to the long-term fellowship and collaboration between Loikka and the Dutch Cinedans Dance on Screen festival. At Loikka Cinedans presents six short films from its 2018 festival programme.
Time Subjectives In Objective Time
Three dancers moving from space to another in an old Russian factory affirming moment of stagnation in the endless time.
Downhill
Downhill playfully shows how we keep subjecting ourselves to the sisyphus-like strains that we call human relations. The film is recorded only by smartphones.
Scalamare
A couple looks back on 40 years of marriage. Praised choreographer Jiří Kylián has them return to the location of their honeymoon: the stairs of the famous Monumento ai Caduti in Ancona.
The Sum of All Parts
A fashion film and a geometric game with visual and physical patterns.
Your Approval Is Not Essential
A coincidental meeting in the supermarket surfaces an unexpected passion. The film is an ode to what happens when you let go of your inhibitions and start embracing life’s quirky pleasures.
An Invitation to Dance
Pulsating movements of five bodies create an eternal dance in them. An Invitation to Dance is the result of research into the filmic experience of dance.
Estimated duration of the screening 70´
